The Masked Singer (German TV series) season 4

The Masked Singer (German TV series) season 4 was the fourth season of the German version of the reality singing competition The Masked Singer. It premiered on ProSieben on February 15, 2022, and concluded on April 9, 2022. As in previous seasons, celebrities wore elaborate costumes to conceal their identities and performed songs, while a panel of judges (or "Rateteam") and the viewing public attempted to guess who was behind the mask.

The judging panel for this season consisted of Ruth Moschner and Rea Garvey, with a rotating guest judge each week. Matthias Opdenhövel returned as the host.

The season featured a new format element with the introduction of "Der Gorilla," a costume that was inhabited by a different celebrity each week, who performed a single song and was then immediately unmasked. This was separate from the main competition.

The winner of the season was the caterpillar (Raupe), who was revealed to be singer Ella Endlich. Second place went to the tortoise (Schildkröte), revealed as Thomas Hayo, and third place to the phoenix (Phoenix), revealed as Alexander Klaws.

Notable for this season was the high level of speculation and engagement from the public, driven by the elaborate costumes and the celebrities' attempts to disguise their voices and mannerisms. The season continued the success of the German adaptation, generating considerable media attention and high viewership figures.
