Antonia Stautz will stay in Stuttgart for next season. So three OHs are already clear for them with Stautz, Holthaus and Julia De Paula (unless they loan her again).
Maybe the fourth is Slacanin... That's a downgrade. De Paula has potential but her receiving is bad, I still think she's better at OPP.
Münster couldn't use two match points to beat Dresden 3:0, and as always in such cases they eventually lost the whole match. However the result gives me some hope that the Cup final between those teams might last longer than one hour eventually 
In the TV match Potsdam beat Wiesbaden quite easily. Just like in Neuwied, Yaglioglu doesn't seem to have much of a clue what he's doing, making random substitutions back and forth. Jenna Ewert has been very good for Potsdam whenever I watched them this season, she made a big step forward compared to last season. I wonder where she'll play next season and if she'll get a call to USA NT.

Not the first slow start of Dresden in this season, but Münster lacks the quality to exploit this really.
Interesting guest at the New Year‘s reception in Suhl.
Stuttgarter Zeitung/Nachrichten report that according to Renkema herself she has "three realistic options". The paper believes one of these would be to succeed Julia Retzlaff as one of the managing directors of the VBL.

Oh wow... That would be a big suprise for me.
Surprising results today. Schwerin and Stuttgart both with problems. I don't understand why Koslowski doesn't have more confidence in Hänle when things aren't going well for Dambrink. Suhl had no chance against Dresden without Jette Kuipers. Hollosy preferred Stemmler to Naujack on OH... Erfurt scored their first point of the season 
against a weak Aachen.
Omg Marije ten Brinke with 21 points?!?!?! You go girl 
also happy to see Pimpichaya doing so well as OH, multiple MVPs already and great stats once again
Dresden got closer to Schwerin and Stuttgart that way and Potsdam is glad, that Suhl won nothing in Dresden, improves on their fourth place now.
Good job from Erfurt that they don’t give up, but their roster is very weak.

It even seems, that they want again to retire from 1. league and going at own will down to 2. pro. So most likely we will have a 12 teams league next season, the 8 playoff participants and the four new from 2. pro (Hamburg, Grimma, Borken, Flacht).
I hear that Erfurt will stay in Bundesliga and they will not go down to 2nd League.

Why?
Maybe with four even weaker teams they feel better? Anyway, until 26. February they all have to decide finally.
Why?
Because now there will be weaker teams they can make some victories like Stefans already mention.
After ETV Hamburg, also Skurios Volleys Borken have officially confirmed that they applied for the license to play in 1st league next season.
That means, that at least one team more will do so, Grimma or Flacht or both, because this was a precondition by Borken.
They say it's a conditional application, so apparently it's not certain someone else will apply
Trailing team Erfurt wins after the first point in last match surprisingly at home against Wiesbaden in three sets. 
Erfurt won 5 sets in last 2 matches. Can someone explain me how on earth is that possible?
