Rhineland-Palatinate: Football updates, weather forecast and environmental protection measures on May 28, 2025 in the focus of the latest news.
FCK star Ragnar Ache moves to Cologne – record goalscorer on a new mission!
In today's sports reporting, the focus is on 1. FC Kaiserslautern. After an exciting season at times, the club failed to gain promotion to the second Bundesliga. In the relegation first leg, 1. FC Saarbrücken lost 2-0, followed by a 2-2 draw against Eintracht Braunschweig. These results mean the end of FCK's ambitious plans to gain promotion to the second division.
In the wake of the transfer rumors, which were discussed primarily among fans, there is now official confirmation: Striker Ragna Ache is leaving 1. FC Kaiserslautern and moving to Bundesliga promoted team 1. FC Köln. Ache, who has been playing in Kaiserslautern since the summer of 2023, scored an impressive 34 goals in 56 second division games during this time. In the current season, he contributed 18 goals, the last goal coming in a 2-1 win against SV Darmstadt 98. He shares the top spot in the Red Devils' all-time top scorer list in the second division with Erik Jendrisek, who scored this number in 90 games between 2007 and 2010. However, Ache only needed 55 games, which underlines his impressive performance. The FCK will end the season next Sunday against 1. FC Köln, where Ache will play his last game for the club.
Environment and infrastructure
In other news from Rhineland-Palatinate, there was recently an incident that affected the waterway on the Moselle. The skipper of a freighter who damaged a lock gate last December has now been fined. The accident led to a traffic jam of up to 70 ships, highlighting the importance of the waterways for regional traffic.
Another controversial topic is helicopter spraying in vineyards. Despite the threat of the Apollo butterfly, winemakers have permission to continue spraying their vineyards with pesticides by helicopter. An urgent application from German Environmental Aid to stop this practice was rejected. This has caused controversy among both environmentalists and winemakers.
Current developments
The traffic situation in Rhineland-Palatinate has gradually stabilized during rush hour, and current traffic reports are available. There is also good news from the region: the state government has decided on a contractual cooperation with the Association of German Sinti and Roma in order to promote recognition and participation. The Rhine quality station in Worms, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary, also receives support.
Finally, the weather forecast for today is changeable with rain, thunderstorms, heavy rain, hail and wind. The maximum values range between 15 and 21 degrees, while the weather is expected to calm down on Father's Day. Unemployment figures for May will be published today at 10 a.m. by the regional directorate of the Federal Employment Agency.
