History
The club was founded in 2007 following a merger between the volleyball departments of MTV Stuttgart and TSV Georgii-Allianz Stuttgart. Initially named "VC Stuttgart", the team debuted in the Bundesliga in the 2008–09 season. In 2010, the team became known as "Smart Allianz Stuttgart", later changing to its current name, Allianz MTV Stuttgart, in 2012.In 2013, the club's youth program was integrated into the MTV Stuttgart Volleyball Academy, which functions as a recognized federal training base for top-level development.
In 2020, sports director was Kim Renkema whereas managing director was Aurel Irion.
For the 2020-21 season, Stuttgart re-hired Athina Papafotiou and also kept Krystal Rivers who had been an important building block. Further, the Dutch girl Hester Jasper joined from German Women's Volleyball League competitor VfB Suhl. The attacker signed a two-year contract. Yet, Stuttgart had to cope with the departure of Annie Cesar, who left to get more playing time.
As of 2021, the head coach has been Tore Aleksandersen who replaced 2020 coach Giannis Athanasopoulos.
In the 2023–24 season, the team achieved the domestic treble—winning the Bundesliga, DVV-Pokal, and Supercup in the same year. The team has also regularly competed in the CEV Women's Champions League.
