The lucky runway (officially Kampfbahn Glückauf) is a football stadium in Gelsenkirchen. It was built in August 1927 on the site of the former coal mine Consolidation. The official opening ceremony took place on 2 September 1928. Until the construction of the park stadium in 1973, the Kampfbahn served as the home ground of FC Schalke 04.

The battlefield became synonymous with Schalke 04, and the miner's salute to evoke the success of the "miners". The regular contact with the Sunday spectators contributed significantly to the cohesion of the team and promoted the identification of the residents of the district with the club. This milieu lasted until the 1970s. In the Kampfbahn Glückauf, the legendary Schalke team, who played their opponents dizzy with the "Schalker Kreisel", experienced great triumphs and their glory days, in the years 1934 to 1958 seven German championship titles were won. The laying of the foundation stone for the stadium, which was to accommodate 34,000 spectators, took place on August 8, 1927. The arena was inaugurated with the Schalke 04 game against SV Köln-Sülz 07, which ended 3-3 on August 25, 1928.
On June 9, 1973, the last Bundesliga game took place in the Kampfbahn Glückauf, Schalke 04 against Hamburger SV, which ended 2-0. After that, Schalke 04 continued to play in the newly built Parkstadion.
Today, the DJK Teutonia Schalke-Nord 1921 plays in the renovated Glückauf Arena.
