Semih Şahin is moving from SV Elversberg to 1.FC Kaiserslautern, with both clubs announcing the transfer was complete.
"With Semih, we're strengthening our team with a strong runner who also possesses a high level of game intelligence and creativity," said FCK sporting director Marcel Klos.
Sky Germany has reported a transfer fee of around €1.5million for 25-year-old central midfielder.
Last year, the club also received the same amount for Jannik Rochelt who made the switch to Hannover 96.
A transfer fee of this magnitude isn't common at Kaiserslautern, either, although Ragnar Ache was recently sold to 1.FC Köln for €4.5million.
The club from Betzenberg went on to invest €1million of that income in Union Berlin striker Ivan Prtajin in return.
Meanwhile, Marvin Mehlem will not be joining Kaiserslautern which puts to bed any rumours of a permanent return to the Bundesrepublik.
Following reports of an imminent move for the former Darmstadt player to Betzenberg, his agent denied the move to Transfermarkt.
