She plays for Alba Berlin, who look set to earn a play-off place in the women’s Bundesliga.

But when not impressive with her basketball skills, Wiebke also turns heads as a model.

She even stunned on Germany’s Next Top Model in 2022, where contestants were judged by Heidi Klum.

Wiebke, 24, didn’t win the show but amassed a huge 71,000 following on Instagram.

She often posts stunning snaps of herself on the basketball court and of her in an array of stylish outfits.

The blonde bombshell stands at 6ft 5in tall and went on Next Top Model to promote body positivity, despite not being a huge fan of the show.

She explained to FitBook: “I took part because I’ve never seen a very tall woman on television – ever.

“And I knew how hard it was for me to grow up, in the truest sense of the word, in a world that doesn’t think that’s nice.

“I wanted to be that person for others. Even though the format is questionable and I don’t actually support it, I needed the platform.”

On sport giving her belief, she said: “As a child and teenager, I was not a self-confident person, but basketball was always a safe place for me.

“A refuge and a constant in my life through which I was able to develop my self-confidence.”

Wiebke is back in Germany after studying biology at Towson University in Maryland, USA.

If she wasn’t busy enough as a model and basketball star, she is also working on launching a clothing brand aimed at taller women.
