This was the second of Ebstein's three appearances for Germany at Eurovision and she became the second performer, after Margot Hielscher, to represent the country in successive years.

After the second and the fourth song, short interval acts were performed by British dance troupe Pamela Devis Ballet.

They presented choreographies to "In the Summertime" by Mungo Jerry and the Ramsey Lewis Trio's instrumental version of "The 'In' Crowd".

After the final performance, the Rosie Singers, who had served as background ensemble for the six performances, sang a medley of three previous Eurovision Song Contest winning entries: "Alles und noch viel mehr" (German version of "All Kinds of Everything" by Dana, 1970), "Boom Bang-a-Bang" (German version of the 1969 UK winning entry by Lulu) and "La, la, la" (1968 winning entry by Massiel for Spain).

Like Ebstein's 1970 entry "Wunder gibt es immer wieder", "Diese Welt" had a more contemporary feel than most of its competitors and had an effective build from a relatively quiet verse into a rousing chorus, allowing Ebstein to show her vocal range.
