  It is important to know that the sports club FC Schalke 04 is the only one left in Germany that can be traced directly back to a coal mine, namely the Schalke colliery. It was originally a team from this mine, and when some of the miners had to play a match at the weekend, their comrades took over their shift so they could play. No other football club is as closely connected with mining as Schalke. <br>Greetings from Germany, &nbsp;<br>Axel

  Google says: <br>&quot;The Steiger song, also known as “Good luck, the Steiger is coming”, has its origins in the 16th century in the Saxon Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge). The first evidence can be found in sheet music from 1531. It developed as a miners&apos; anthem, singing about the hope of a safe return from the mine, and is now recognized as an intangible cultural heritage.&quot;

  This is the anthem of all miners. Despite all the rivalries in football due to the proximity of Schalke, Dortmund, and Bochum, all fans are united on this point when it comes to the miners. <br> <br>There are many comments on this video: One was about a grandson who was at the game with his grandfather, and tears streamed down the grandfather&apos;s face during this anthem. <br> <br>This illustrates how important and sad it is for the people of the Ruhr region when it comes to remembering a now bygone era.

  Ich stamme aus einer Region mit Bergbau und Stahlhütten. Es gab keine Familie ohne Opfer. Grubenunglücke und Unfälle hinterließen Tote und Krüppel. Der Ehrenkodex Untertage ist den Bergleuten das höchste Gesetz. Kumpel stehen füreinander ein. Das gibt es heute nicht mehr.

  Your german gets better and better each time i watch your videos, good job 👍👍😁😁<br>here are the Lyrics:<br>: Good Luck, the Miner is Coming <br>Good luck, good luck; the miner is coming; and he has his bright light in the night, and he has <br>his bright light in the night; already lit, already lit. <br> <br>--- Already lit, it casts its glow; and so we travel by night, and so we <br>travel by night; into the mine, into the mine. <br> <br>--- Into the mine, where the miners are; who dig for the silver and the gold by the <br>night, who dig for the silver and the gold by the night; from the rock, from the rock. <br> <br>--- One digs for the silver, the other digs for the gold; but to the dark-haired maiden by the night, but to the dark-haired maiden by the night; to her you will be fond, to her you will be fond. <br> <br>--- Farewell, farewell, farewell; my dearest; For down there in the deep, dark shaft by night, for down there in the deep, dark shaft by night; there I think of you, there I think of you. <br> <br>--- And when I return home to my sweetheart; then the miner&apos;s greeting resounds by night, then the miner&apos;s greeting resounds by night, Glückauf, Glückauf, Glückauf. <br> <br>--- We miners are truly brave men! For we wear leather in front of our arses by night, for we wear leather in front of our arses by night; and drink schnapps, and drink schnapps.

  The ultras and active fans and fanclubs are often accumulated in a certain spot, which is often behind the goals as there are stands for standing and the cheapest tickets.
