On 13 April 2022, ProSieben and Sat.1 announced Mark Forster would be the only coach returning, meaning that Nico Santos, Johannes Oerding and Sarah Connor would not be returning as coaches for season 12.[4] On 12 May 2022, it was announced that Rea Garvey and Stefanie Kloss would be returning as solo coaches after a one-year hiatus, along with new coach Peter Maffay.[5] After three seasons, the Comeback Stage by SEAT was not reinstated this season, leading to the departure of last season's Comeback Stage coach Elif Demirezer. Hence, the number of finalists on the show would be down to four once again.
Hosts
On 30 March 2022, Lena Gercke announced on her Instagram account that after seven seasons she would not be returning to the show.[6] On 21 April 2022, it was announced that Thore Schölermann would return as host and Melissa Khalaj would be the new host.[7]

Battles
The Battles were recorded from July 4, 2022 to July 6, 2022 in Berlin, being broadcast like the Blind Auditions every Thursday on ProSieben and every Friday on Sat.1.
In this round, the four coaches pair two or three of their artists, depending on the total number of artists on their teams, in a singing match and then select one of them to advance to the next round. Each coach has only one 'Steal' which can be used to select an artist on another team and lost the battle to advance to the Sing-offs.

Sing-offs
The Sing-offs were recorded in Berlin from July 19, 2022 to July 20, 2022 and were broadcast only by Sat.1 on Friday nights.
In this round, each coach divides their ten candidates into three groups, in which each participant performs a song in turn. The coach then chooses one participant from each group to move on to the Semi-final, where all four coaches each have three candidates left on their team.
Last season marked the first time that the show did not invite mentors since the sixth season. However, in the Sing-offs this season the advisors were again introduced by the show. Team Rea was supported by Tones and I, Team Stefanie by Lena, Team Peter by Wincent Weiss and Team Mark by Calum Scott.

Semi-final
The Semi-final aired on October 28, 2022. Twelve contestants, three per coach, competed in this round and only one from each team advanced to the season Finale. Since there is no Comeback Stage, unlike in the previous three seasons, no fifth finalist was added. Also, the show canceled the quarter-final this season.
In this round, the coaches are not the ones to decide who moves on to the next round. Instead, it is the audiences who vote determine which contestants from the teams advance to the Finale. Tammo Förster, Julian Pförtner, Basti Schmidt, and Anny Ogrezeanu are the four finalists. Anny is also the only finalist that didn't get a four-chair-turn in the Blind Auditions.
Sophie Frei was initially announced to move onto the finale for Team Rea, before it was revealed that a technical error mixed Frei's and Tammo Förster's percentages on the on-screen graphic. This was verified minutes later when a notary came on stage to confirm the results. The voting results of Jan Bleeker were not affected by the glitch.
The coaches kicked off the Semi-final with "Are You Gonna Go My Way" by Lenny Kravitz. The show also invited Michael Schulte and Max Giesinger, who ended up in third and fourth place on the first season of The Voice of Germany and both started a career since then, as guests to perform their latest single "More to This Life".

Finale
The Finale aired on November 4, 2022. Due to the cancellation of the Comeback Stage, only four finalists competed in the Finale. In the Finale, each artist first performed a duet with their own coach and then another with a guest artist.
The show invited famous singer-songwriters including Brit-nominated Calum Scott, former coach Nico Santos, Eurovision Song Contest 2014 winner Conchita Wurst, and a band Alphaville. Last season's winner Sebastien Krenz joined the finalists (Tammo Förster, Julian Pförtner, Basti Schmidt, and Anny Ogrezeanu) to perform his latest single and Zoe Wees who was a contestant on the fifth season of The Voice Kids also joined the show as a guest.
Particularly, right before the announcement of the final result, Iranian-American singer Rana Mansour performed the English version of "Baraye" by Shervin Hajipour. This song serves as the anthem of the ongoing 2021-2022 Iranian Protests, which escalated again a few days before the broadcasting day of the Finale. It calls for peace and women's rights in Iran.
Anny Ogrezeanu is crowned the winner of this season, marking Mark Forster's first and only win after being a coach on the show for six seasons and the third in the series (twice on the Kids' version). This also means that Anny Ogrezeanu, as the only finalist who has not received a 'four-chair-turn' in the Blind Auditions this season, is also the only non-'four-chair-turn' winner since season 8, where a two-chair-turn contestant Samuel Rösch won the show representing coach Michael Patrick Kelly.
