The German Swimming Federation has named their squad for the 2012 European Championships that will take place from May 21st to 27th in Debrecen, Hungary (as replacement for Antwerp, Belgium, who pulled out of hosting).
All of the big names will be in attendance at the pre-Olympic meet, including World Record holders Britta Steffen and Paul Biedermann, as well as other big names like Dorothea Brandt, the Deibler Brothers, and Marco di Carli.
Qualifications were available by way of three meets: the British Olympic Trials at the London Aquatic Centre, the International Meeting in Madgeburg the same weekend; or the Columbus Grand Prix in the United States (made specially for the case of Dimitri Colupaev, who trains in the US at USC, and was in the midst of his college season).
