Former Germany international Dennis Aogo has joined Stuttgart from Schalke on a two-year deal.
The 30-year-old left-back has also played for Freiburg and Hamburg and has made a total of 213 Bundesliga appearances.
"I didn't have to spend much time considering the offer from VfB and I am very happy that the transfer has worked out," Aogo told Stuttgart's official website.
"I am very motivated and extremely eager to get on the ball and begin training with the team.
"During the course of my career I have played in Stuttgart on a number of occasions, so I know there is always an unbelievable atmosphere here. That too was an important factor in me making this move to VfB."
