context_page_description: Germany competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, from 3 to 21 August 2016. This was the nation's seventh consecutive appearance at the Summer Olympics after its reunification in 1990.
context_section_description: German shooters have achieved quota places for the following events by virtue of their best finishes at the 2014 and 2015 ISSF World Shooting Championships, the 2015 ISSF World Cup series, and European Championships or Games, as long as they obtained a minimum qualifying standard (MQS) by March 31, 2016.
  The rifle and pistol shooting team was announced at the Munich leg of the ISSF World Cup series on May 24, 2016, featuring European Games champion Henri Junghänel, three-time Olympian Barbara Engleder, and Beijing 2008 Olympic bronze medalist Christian Reitz. Clay target shooters Andreas Löw and two-time Olympian Christine Wenzel were named to the German shooting roster on May 30, 2016, while London 2012 skeet shooter Ralf Buchheim and trap specialist Jana Beckmann completed the nation's shooting lineup at the Baku leg of the ISSF World Cup on June 24, 2016.
  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.
