With a double starter (owned by Engleder) securing quota places in two women's rifle events, the German team decided to exchange one of them with the women's 25 m pistol instead based on performances throughout the qualifying period. The slot was awarded to European Games bronze medalist Monika Karsch. ^[79]

German weightlifters have qualified four men's quota places for the Rio Olympics based on their combined team standing by points at the 2014 and 2015 IWF World Championships. A single women's Olympic spot had been added to the German roster by virtue of a top six national finish at the 2016 European Championships. ^[93] The team must allocate these places to individual athletes by 20 June 2016.

The weightlifting team was named to the Olympic roster on 2 July 2016, with Almir Velagic and Jürgen Spieß remarkably going to their second Olympics. ^{[13] [94]}
