Stuttgart's coach Jan Lindenmair says she proved great potential as Opp in her French club, so he wants to use her that way as well.
You are right, I just read the article at their homepage 
Germany - DVL 2011/12

Allianz Volley Stuttgart signs Bulgarian setter Lora Kitipova, Spanish-Argentinian OH Silvana Olivera, Dutch MB Deborah Van Daelen (she will probably play as Opp) and young German players Lena Gschwendtner (L), Alessandra Jovy-Heusser (MB) and Svenja Engelhardt (OH). The club also wants to sign Serbian OH Jelena Vulin, there are still some details to settle but she will probably come.
Nadja Schaus and Kim Renkema did not renew their contracts. Evelyn Delogu, Franziska Bremer and Tatjana Zautys will stay.
i'm surprised about Olivera. not sure that she's better than Renkema. -
i'm surprised about Olivera. not sure that she's better than Renkema.The club wanted to keep Renkema, but she refused their offer. Stuttgart's coach wants to have another OH in addition to Olivera, Engelhardt and Vulin (?) but probably the club won't have money for that because they still need a 2nd setter and a 3rd MB.

Kim Renkema transfers from Stuttgart to Potsdam
-
Barbara Garcia Duarte will stay another year in Köpenick. I think Alicja Leszczynska will stay there as well, she was on photos of the presentation of Köpenick's new main sponsor together with Garcia.
Management of Schwerin said their team is almost complete, they're only looking for another attacker. They will have 12 or 13 players and the main goal will be to defend the champion title and do well in ECL. I hope they'll present their team soon...so far, the only sure players are Anne Buijs, Lousiane Souza Ziegler and Quinta Steenbergen.
Thomsen, Hanke and Brandt already renewed for next season, right? So they are sure as well.

Did they?
I'm not sure...I just know Hanke's contract expired after the season, but I don't remember any news about renewing...About Renkema, seems like Potsdam is building a stronger team than in the previous seasons. They already have Kathy Radzuweit and Nikol Sajdova as MBs, now Renkema and the other OHs Dörfler and Zülow also are not that bad, and I heard they are interested in another OH from abroad (but that is still not official, but would be a good transfer if she comes), so now they just need a good setter and Opp, seems like Fresco will indeed leave, she is no longer in the roster on Potsdam website.

Matthias, which club does Geerties play for? Does she have a chance to play in starting six?
I think she is the future of German NT on OH position. She seems quite strong and can play well beside Brinker instead of Beier or Matthes.I watched her both in ECH and WCH in junior category and I must say I am impressed by her. Her reception doesn't look so good but she is so young so she can improve. I would like to see her in NT as soon as possible.And there isn't any meaning to play with Beier anymore. Germany needs a young OH who can lead the team to Rio Olympics.

Thank you for the info

Jennifer Todd and Mirjana Djuric do not stay in Vilsbiburg. Todd leaves due to knee problems and the club couldn't negotiate successfully with Djuric.
Vilsbiburg signs Brazilian MB Cristina Alves as replacement for Todd. She played in Spanish league last seasons as far as I know.
And she was best blocker last 2 seasons, playing for Jamper Aguere and Universidad de Burgos. Good transfer!
-
Cristina Alves Oliveira Ferreira, middleblocker, 29 years old, 1.85m, played for Universidad de Burgos last season. From 2008 ´til 2011 she played vor CV Jamper Aguere where she was teammate of Renata Cristina de Jesus Benedito. So, they´re now back together in Vilsbiburg.
-
SC Potsdam posted on their website that the news about signing Kim Renkema are "definitely wrong".
VT Aurubis Hamburg finally announced the transfer of Belgian OH Els Vandesteene from VDK Gent.
FINALLY ! -
Jennifer Todd and Mirjana Djuric do not stay in Vilsbiburg. Todd leaves due to knee problems and the club couldn't negotiate successfully with Djuric.
Mirjana Djuric is playing next season in Norway or that area. She told me herself she wanna have a familylife with her boyfriend,who lives there. She said level of volleybalcompetion is very low there,but that's her choice, family is more important than her volleybalcarreer at this moment.
