Overview
A group of girls are chosen to live together for a few weeks and compete to become Germany's Next Topmodel. Each week, one girl is asked to leave because she is not good enough to stay in the competition and become a top model. The last three/four girls are in the finale. The winner is then chosen with help of the group of judges. There have been 18 cycles of the show so far.
Host and judges
Only Heidi Klum has been a judge on every cycle. Thomas Hayo was a judge for the longest at six cycles, Peyman Amin was next longest at four cycles. Boris Entrup was a judge for cycle two, but he was part of the program until 2017 as the makeup advisor. In 2017 Wolfgang Joop became the first former judge to return to the program. He had been a guest judge for one episode. He came back in 2018 as well.
The judging panel since the 14th season was only guest judges and Klum. She was the only permanent judge.[2]

- It was never announced which contestants were part of the final cast. There was no fade-out at the end of each episode, the opening sequence only featured the top 18 and several girls were not present at the live finale for the runway walk. However, ONEeins Management listed the entire top 25 as cast members of the cycle.
