Gelsenkirchen Hotels Reservation including – Maritim Hotel Gelsenkirchen Intercity Hotel AufSchalke Arena Hotels.
FC Schalke 04 is almost one-hundred years old - and in during this time it has probably experienced more triumphs and tragedies than most other Bundesliga clubs or even most German sports clubs put together. There can hardly be another club that has experienced such vastly differing emotions, hardly any other club that has undertaken such a roller-coaster ride between glorious success and the verge of obscurity. But this may be the very reason why Schalke fans are so loyal to their club and have such a strong sense of tradition.
Gelsenkirchen combines the appeal of the Ruhr with a charm all of its own - so set off on a voyage of discovery and prepare for one or two interesting surprises. Many of the town's trademark features are just a couple of minutes' walk from the centre, so you're never more than a few steps away from surroundings which are impressive because they're so unique, or from scenery which brings abstract ideas like structural change and the history of industry unexpectedly to life.
Gelsenkirchen is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is located in the northern part of the Ruhr area. Its population in 2006 was c. 267,000. Today Germany's largest solar power plant is located in the city. In Gelsenkirchen-Scholven there is a coal fired power station with the tallest chimneys in Germany (302 metres).
The Veltins Arena is a football stadium in the German city of Gelsenkirchen that is considered one of the most modern stadiums in the world. Originally named the Arena AufSchalke, it opened in 2001 as the new home ground for the Bundesliga football club FC Schalke 04. It hosted the 2004 UEFA Champions League final and 5 matches in the 2006 FIFA World Cup, including a quarter-final.
