Germany's Next Topmodel Cycle 1 is the first season of Germany's Next Topmodel (often abbreviated to GNTM) that aired on German television network ProSieben. The show started airing on 25 January 2006 with twelve girls in the competition. 18-year-old Lena Gercke came off as this season's winner. She became a successful model after the show and the host of Austria's Next Topmodel. IMG Models manages the winner and also managed first runner-up and second runner-up for one year.
The first season copied many photo shoot ideas from America's Next Top Model, especially from the first season. It has also gone with almost three episodes with a double-elimination for the models. The show was hosted by top model Heidi Klum. The international destinations for this cycle were New York City, Los Angeles and Paris.

From over 11,000 applicants, 32 girls were selected to enter the competition. For their first challenge, the girls had to put together an outfit from the clothes they had packed for a meeting with the judges. After the challenge, twelve girls were eliminated, leaving twenty to compete for the twelve places in the finals.
For the next challenge, the 20 remaining models were taken by bus to the Zeche Walsum, a coal mine in Duisburg, where they had to walk down a runway for an audience of miners. After this, the twelve finalists were selected. Heidi then announced that they would be going to New York City.
