Die Zeiger der Uhr was Germany's entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1966 in Luxembourg, performed by Margot Eskens. The song is a ballad, with Eskens singing about the feelings brought on by reading old love letters and seeing photographs from an old relationship. As she explains, however, "The hands of time only turn/forwards, forwards and never backwards". The song was performed first on the night preceding Denmark. It received 7 points, placing tenth.
