A Brief History of Die Knappen

The origins of Die Knappen (The Miners) took shape from the collier and grafter associations that sprung up in the large mining community of the Ruhr industrial area. Westfalia Schalke was formed in 1904 by a group of high school students and would later become FC Schalke 04 in 1924. The club enjoyed much success in the pre-war years that saw its greatest legend, Ernst Kuzorra, lead the team to six championships. The early Bundesliga years were a mixed bag, highlighted by a sports scandal that rocked the organisation and the community. S04 eventually recovered, and by the turn of the millennium, they found themselves once again among the elite German football clubs. Fans of Die Knappen can savour matchdays featuring competition from Borussia Monchengladbach, FC Augsburg and Hamburger SV, among others. Discover the resilience of The Miners and their intrepid fanbase for yourself. FC Schalke 04 tickets are ready now to buy or sell via StubHub.
