We investigate the near-infrared K-band evolution of early-type galaxies in the cluster of galaxies Abell2390 at z = 0.23. Using the Omega-Prime camera at the 3.5-m Calar Alto telescope deep imaging (texp = 53 min) over a 6' × 6' field has been obtained. The measured K-band magnitudes of 28 galaxies are combined with the spectroscopic and morphological data of Fritz et al. (2005) to construct the Faber-Jackson and Fundamental Plane relations in the NIR. By comparing our distant galaxies to a local sample of cluster ellipticals (Pahre 1999), we find on average a mild luminosity evolution for both scaling relations (ΔMK ~ 0.6 − 0.7 mag) compatible with passive evolution of the stellar populations.
