Germany was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1990 with the song "Frei zu leben", composed by Ralph Siegel, with lyrics by Michael Kunze, and performed by Chris Kempers and Daniel Kovac.

The German participating broadcaster on behalf of ARD, Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR), selected their entry through a national final.

The final took place on 29 March 1990 at the German Theatre in Munich and was hosted by Hape Kerkeling.

Ten acts presented their entries live and the winner was selected by public televoting.

"Frei zu leben" was performed thirteenth on the night, following Switzerland and preceding France.
