Glückauf-Kampfbahn, Football stadium in Gelsenkirchen, Germany
The Glückauf-Kampfbahn stadium features an artificial turf surface and currently accommodates up to 11,000 spectators for sporting events and community gatherings.
The stadium opened on August 25, 1928, and served as the home ground for FC Schalke 04 until 1973, hosting numerous German championship victories.
The name incorporates the traditional mining greeting 'Glückauf', reflecting the strong connection between football and the industrial heritage of the Ruhr region.
Located at Kurt-Schumacher-Straße 145 in Gelsenkirchen, the stadium is operated by DJK Teutonia Schalke-Nord and hosts regular football matches.
During a memorable friendly match against Fortuna Düsseldorf in 1931, the stadium recorded an attendance of 70,000 spectators, far exceeding its intended capacity.
