The live special marked the kickoff to Fischer’s tour year, reshaping the Schlager TV schedule with Silbereisen’s Traumschiff break.

Overview

  • Fischer made her first major TV appearance since her second babypause, arriving shortly before airtime without rehearsals and performing a fan‑voted medley.
  • She reunited onstage with Florian Silbereisen for the duet “Schau mal herein,” which was presented with the “Hit of the Year 2025” award.
  • ARD’s broadcast reached about 4.02 million viewers for a 19.0% share, trailing ZDF’s crime drama that drew roughly 7.02 million.
  • Social media reaction ranged from praise to criticism, and several outlets reported Fischer was not onstage for the final group curtain.
  • Silbereisen told viewers he will be away for several months to film ZDF’s Traumschiff, with the next big Schlager event slated for June 6 in Kitzbühel and Michelle’s TV farewell highlighted during the show.
