For the first time in the FC dress: Cologne’s newcomer trains here

The 1. FC Köln is the football club from the cathedral city. In the New sticker on T-Online you will find all the important messages about the “billy goats”.

Marius Bülter has arrived at the 1st FC Köln. On Thursday evening, the club officially announced the commitment of the new access. “When I drove over the Rhine bridge on Wednesday evening, it was special – I feel very desire to come to Cologne,” said the attacker at his performance.

A day later, the 32-year-old, who changes from TSG Hoffenheim to the Rhine for almost one million euros, was already on the field with his new teammates. The striker seems to have overcome his calf problems, because of which he last paused in Hoffenheim training. On Saturday, the newcomer will also present itself to the fans for the first time at the big opening of the season before being used for his new club in the test game against Vitesse Arnheim on Sunday.

The 1. FC Köln is about Marius Bülter’s commitment. Already on Wednesday evening, coach Lukas Kwasniok had made no secret of the great interest of the Bundesliga promoted in the striker. On Thursday morning, the 32-year-old finally completed the mandatory medical check in the MediaPark Clinic.

Afterwards, Bülter went to the Geißbockheim for the contract signature. The striker, who is moving from TSG Hoffenheim to Cologne for almost one million euros, is to receive a contract with the option for another season by the summer of 2027. On Friday, the seventh FC newcomer should be on the training ground for the first time with its new teammates.

The members of the 1. FC Köln have the election between three board teams at the general meeting on September 27, 2025. The trio Dr. Sven-Georg Adenauer, Thorsten Kiesewetter and Martin Hollweck were able to collect the necessary 4,589 supporter signatures that entitle them to list. Before that, the team around entrepreneur Wilke Stroman had already succeeded. The member council, in turn, had nominated a trio around real estate manager Jörn Stobbe.

Politician Adenauer now says in a message on the FC homepage: “Over 5,000 members have given us their trust-this is more than a start signal. We are very proud of this result and thank all of the supporters. We accept this mandate with determination and are now looking forward to a fair election campaign.”

The 1. FC Köln is said to be interested in Derrick Köhn from Galatasaray Istanbul. This reports “Sky”. According to this, the Bundesliga promoter is said to have already made an offer for the left-back. The 26-year-old had been loaned to Werder Bremen last season. Actually, the Bremerers wanted to commit the player, but were not ready to pull the purchase option of 5.1 million euros.
