Käseglocke Zum Schalker Hannes

The Käseglocke in Gelsenkirchen-Buer (officially formerly Käseglocke Zum Schalker Hannes), located at Goldbergplatz 12, is a legendary cult pub in the region, but it is permanently closed.

The striking, round building has stood empty for years and is well-known locally as a historic landmark plagued by long-standing disputes over preservation, renovation, and ownership changes. While it remains an iconic spot for Schalke 04 football fans and traditionalists, it no longer operates as a pub.
