Excited Volleyball Star Louis Kunstmann Heads to Friedrichshafen, Facing Brother in Bundesliga
Brother opposes Kunstmann's relocation to Friedrichshafen - Artist Relocates to Friedrichshafen: Sibling Expresses Objection
Welcome aboard, Louis Kunstmann! The 24-year-old volleyball sensation officially becomes a member of VfB Friedrichshafen, joining the Volleyball-Bundesliga for the next two seasons. With a successful stint at the University of Calgary under his belt, Louis is swapping the frosty Canadian weather for the warmth of Lake Constance.
After studying and playing at a high level in Canada, Louis is making a comeback to professional German volleyball. His arrival strengthens the roster, bolstering the middle blocker position alongside teammates Marcus Böhme and Simon Uhrenholt.
But the news doesn't just excite Louis – there's an extra layer of anticipation as his brother, Joscha Kunstmann, is his rival on the court. Joscha joined SVG Lüneburg in 2023, and the sibling rivalry is about to heat up as they face each other in the league next season. Louis reveals his eagerness to lock horns with his brother, having never experienced such a competition before.
Last season, the club from Lake Constance made it to the playoff semifinals but missed the German championship final series for the first time since 2013 – perhaps their luck turns around with Louis on the team? Let's wait and see!
- Hometown: Lake Constance and Calgary
- Position: Middle blocker
- League: Volleyball-Bundesliga
- Team: VfB Friedrichshafen
- Brother: Joscha Kunstmann (SVG Lüneburg)
As Louis Kunstmann prepares for his return to German volleyball with VfB Friedrichshafen, he not only hopes to help the team regain its previous success but also looks forward to facing his brother, Joscha, in the Bundesliga. Meanwhile, Louis's participation in the team can potentially provide community aid, creating opportunities for vocational training and development for the local residents and athletes around Lake Constance.
