Gelsenkirchen
The 'Arena AufSchalke' in Gelsenkirchen is located on the Berger Feld, north of the river Emscher. The arena is the venue for four games of the European Football Championship and will accommodate 50,000 spectators per match. It was built between 1998 and 2001.
In the elevation model on the left, the Emscher river runs through the picture from right to left. The spoil tips of the Oberscholven (top left) and Hoheward (centre right) coal mines are clearly visible as the highest elevations.
