FC Gelsenkirchen-Schalke 04 e.V., known worldwide as FC Schalke 04, is more than just a football club; it is a symbol of identity for the city of Gelsenkirchen and the Ruhr area. Founded in 1904 by a group of young men, the club has its roots in the mining working class, which forged a character of resilience and unconditional support that endures to this day. Their golden era was in the 1930s and 1940s, when they dominated German football, winning six of their seven national championships.
