FCK strengthens defense: Jisoo Kim moves from the Premier League on loan!
A lot is happening in the West Palatinate, in different areas. A highlight is the new signing at 1. FC Kaiserslautern. The club have signed 20-year-old central defender Jisoo Kim, who is joining the Red Devils on loan from a Premier League club. Kim already has experience from the Korean premier league and from Brentford FC, where he played in the semi-finals of the U20 World Cup two years ago. FCK sports director Marcel Klos is convinced that he has found a valuable reinforcement for the defense in Kim.
But there is also news in nature. In Trippstadt, experts from the Forest Research Institute are beginning an extensive forest condition survey, in which around 4,000 trees will be examined for their crown condition as well as possible drought damage, pests and death. This campaign is expected to last two and a half weeks. The last report in 2024 showed that 87.5% of trees were damaged. In Germany, around a third of the country's area is forested, and the most common tree species are spruce, pine, beech and oak. It is estimated that 73% of trees are over 60 years old, increasing their susceptibility to disease. The results of the current investigation are expected at the end of the year.
Fire and repair work
Another serious incident involves a fire in an apartment building on Fischerrück. The return of the 23 residents who are temporarily housed in emergency accommodation is currently uncertain. The police have released the building, but the property management still faces the challenge of carrying out repairs to the building's plumbing. What caused the fire remains a mystery.
At the same time, a burst water pipe in Kaiserslautern ensures that the road towards Erzhütten-Wiesenthalerhof remains closed. The incident occurred near the TuS Erfenbach sports field. Although those responsible are working to quickly repair the damage, rain is delaying the work, so citizens have to be patient here too.
