1. A deflection apparatus for a conveying system, wherein the deflection apparatus comprises: a central body;with a roller body circulating around the central body,wherein the roller body comprises a multiplicity of rollers, which are guided and roll in a roller track of the central body, andwherein the central body is adjustable in its shape and hence a deflection angle of the deflection apparatus is adjustable. 2. The deflection apparatus for a conveying system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the roller track is formed from a flexible material, and can be clamped in place in a certain angular configuration, released and reclamped at another angle. 3. The deflection apparatus for a conveying system as claimed in claim 1, wherein a front roller track is provided in order that further bodies roll on the front roller track over the rollers, and the front roller track is produced from a flexible material. 4. The deflection apparatus for a conveying system as claimed in claim 3, wherein at least the front roller track is bendable and/or twistable for adaptation to a predetermined track path. 5. The deflection apparatus for a conveying system as claimed in claim 3, wherein the front roller track and a return roller track, along which the rollers rolling on the front roller track are returned, run at a substantially constant distance apart, and the front roller track and the return roller track are connected to each other by means of connecting elements. 6. The deflection apparatus for a conveying system as claimed in claim 5, wherein the connecting elements are detachably connected by means of connections to the front roller track and/or to the return roller track, and these connections are detachable in order to adjust the shape of the central body and are fixable in order to fix the shape of the central body. 7. The deflection apparatus for a conveying system as claimed in claim 5, wherein the rollers are guided in a roller belt and are distanced from one another, and the connecting elements support a belt guide for guiding the roller belt, wherein the roller belt runs with its two outer edges in each case in a belt-guiding groove of the belt guide and is thereby guided and prevented from falling out. 8. The deflection apparatus for a conveying system as claimed in claim 5, wherein the connecting elements comprise retaining elements for fastening the deflection apparatus to the conveying system. 9. The deflection apparatus for a conveying system as claimed in claim 5, wherein the return roller track consists of separate individual portions, which are connected by the connecting elements to the front roller track and, upon deformation of the central body, are mutually movable. 10. The deflection apparatus for a conveying system as claimed in claim 5, wherein the front roller track and the return roller track are formed adjacent to each other in one piece from a flexible plastic. 11. The deflection apparatus for a conveying system as claimed in claim 10, wherein the body formed in one piece from the front roller track and from the return roller track is ribbed or slotted in the region of the return roller track in order to improve the pliability. 12. The deflection apparatus for a conveying system as claimed in claim 5, further comprising two end pieces for the deflection of the roller body at the ends of the central body, wherein preferably at least one of the end pieces is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the roller tracks for length compensation with respect to the front roller track and/or the return roller track. 13. The deflection apparatus for a conveying system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the central body is bendable and/or twistable jointly with the front roller path. 14. The deflection apparatus for a conveying system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the roller body does not circulate fully around the central body, but only along a portion of the central body. 15. The deflection apparatus for a conveying system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a drive means for adjusting the shape of the deflection apparatus during operation of the deflection apparatus. 16. The deflection apparatus for a conveying system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the deflection apparatus is realized in lightweight construction, in particular with rollers made from plastic and the central body from plastic or aluminum. 17. The deflection apparatus for a conveying system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the rollers are guided in a roller belt and are distanced from one another, and the roller belt is manufactured of a flexible flat material. 18. The deflection apparatus for a conveying system as claimed in claim 17, wherein, in order to form a closed loop, the roller belt is placed with its two ends one against the other, and the two ends are connected to each other by means of at least a film stuck to the roller belt.
