We report the first observation of trielectronic recombination with excitation of a K-shell electron, involving three active electrons. It was identified in the x-ray emission spectrum of recombining highly charged Kr ions, together with indications of quadruelectronic recombination linking four active electrons. A resolution three times higher than any reported for this collision energy range around 10 keV resulted in the separation of their features from the stronger dielectronic resonances. For Kr30+, contributions of nearly 6% to the total resonant photorecombination rate were found.
