At a cosmic time when galaxy clusters start showing evidence of a still active galaxy population, the X-ray luminous, massive cluster XMMU J2235-2557 at z=1.39, already hosts massive, quiescent, early-type galaxies on a tight red sequence dominating the cluster core. XMMU J2235-2557 is among the most massive of the very distant clusters, which may explain the evolved status of the system itself, and of its host galaxy populations. It remains a unique laboratory to observe environment-biased galaxy evolution already 9 billion years ago.
