The seventeenth season of Germany's Next Topmodel aired on German television network ProSieben from 3 February to 26 May 2022.
This is the first season where the maximum age limit was removed, allowing contestants of all ages (lowest age limit still being 18) to enter the contest.
The winner of this season was 18-year-old Lou-Anne Gleissenebner from Klosterneuburg, Austria. Her prizes include:
- A cover and spread in the German edition of Harper's Bazaar.
- A cash prize worth €100,000.
- An advertising campaign with MAC Cosmetics.
Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the season was filmed under strict COVID-19 regulations, including travel restrictions. Nevertheless, this was the first season to film abroad since the fifteenth season, as the previous season was filmed entirely in Germany. However, a preselection was still held instead of open castings, and the first episode once again started with 31 finalists.The international destinations of this season were set in Athens, Mykonos, Los Angeles and Ibiza.
