The eighth season of Germany's Next Topmodel aired on German television network ProSieben from 28 February to 30 May 2013 under the catch phrase Closer than ever.
Due to a decrease in ratings for the show, several changes were done. For the first time the show was produced by RedSeven GmbH, who were also previously producing Austria's Next Topmodel. Fashion photographer Enrique Badulescu joined the panel along with Thomas Hayo, who became the first judge - aside from Klum - since Peyman Amin returned for a third time to the show.
As in the last preceding years, this season featured a preselection without open castings. The first episode started off with 26 semifinalists of whom however only 25 were introduced to the audience. The show however was off with a disappointing launch as it showed a ratings drop in comparison to the last cycle's premiere.
The winner was 16-year-old Lovelyn Enebechi from Hamburg. Her prizes include:
- A modeling contract with Günther Klum's OneEins GmbH Management.
- A cover and spread in the German edition of Cosmopolitan.
- A limited-time apartment stay in a fashion capital of her choice.
- A €250,000 cash prize.
- An Opel Adam
The international destinations for this cycle were set in Dubai, Los Angeles, New York City and Honolulu.
