The German will travel with only five athletes to the ski flying World Championships in Vikersund, where the champions will be crowned next weekend.
Besides their top athletes Richard Freitag and Severin Freund, Andreas Wank, Michael Neumayer and Maximilian Mechler were nominated for the ski flying events in southern Norway.
"I did not nominate a sixth athlete because right now there's no one who would be an reinforcement for our team", said head coach Werner Schuster.
