Season chronology

Germany's Next Topmodel, Cycle 6 is the sixth season of the show that was aired on the German television network ProSieben. The show started airing on March 3, 2011. In difference to the last two years, a preselection was done and open castings were not part of the show any more. The first episode started with 50 semifinalists, the fewest number since Cycle 1. It was also announced that an elimination outside the judging panel can happen at any point.

Once again the entire judging panel except for Heidi Klum was replaced. Q and Kristian Schuller both left the show after one Cycle. Thomas Hayo and fashion designer Thomas Rath joined in.

The show hit US-American news when the mansion in Los Angeles in which the final 15 competitors were supposed to live burnt down one day before filming, with firefighter Glenn Allen being killed.[1][2] A new mansion was found immediately without a significant delay in production.[3] The winner of the competition was 20-year-old Jana Beller from Recklinghausen.

The international destinations for this cycle were set in Schladming, London, Los Angeles, Nassau and Rio de Janeiro.
