"Cornelia is a striker with a lot of power and dynamism who can play in a lot of positions in attack and operate in between the lines. She poses a big goal threat. That's also why she's on the way to playing for the national team," said Achim Feifel, Bayer 04 Women's team sporting director: "We expect her to adapt well to the way we play and the tempo in the Bundesliga and that she will therefore quickly strengthen our squad."
After the start of her career at Aalborg BK, Kramer played for HB Køge, who last season finished third in the Danish league, from 2021. She scored 27 goals in 75 appearances for the club. She has won international caps for the Denmark U17, U19 and U23 teams and has already been in the senior national squad.
"In the negotiations, I immediately felt my type of player is in demand here. I have a lot of tempo, work hard for the team and I'd like to contribute goals," said Kramer: "The first discussions with the coach and the management gave me a very good feeling."
After eight years in the youth set-up at Bayer 04 Leverkusen, Benjamin Adam is leaving the club. The 35-year-old, who most recently coached the Leverkusen U17s, will take charge of the Hansa Rostock U19 team next season.

A fresh look for the BayArena: The Bayer 04 stadium will have new seating in the form of folding seats for the 2026/27 campaign that will ensure significantly improved seating comfort and simplified movement within the rows of seats. As part of routine replacement after 17 years, fans of the Werkself were able to purchase the existing seats, used to witness the first German league title in the club's history. In addition, a large proportion of the seats will be donated to charitable projects, primarily in the local region. Bayer 04 fans can look forward to new, functional folding seats for the season opener at the beginning of August - still in the club colours of black and red, of course. A glimpse at the BayArena during the refurbishment.
