The Revierderby between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke is known as 'the mother of all derbies' for a reason. It is one of the fiercest rivalries in world football as two of the game’s most passionate sets of fans vie for local bragging rights in Germany’s industrial heartland.

The cities of Dortmund and Gelsenkirchen are separated by less than 20 miles in the Ruhr region, for generations Germany's centre of coal and steel production. You could say more unites them than divides them  though duck/run if you say it in Dortmund or Gelsenkirchen!  as they share a hugely passionate, football-mad, working-class fan base. While religious, economic and political differences spice up other derbies, the Revierderby is split simply across one divide: Are you Black-and-Yellow or Royal Blue? There is no middle ground. The most fervent fans even refuse to utter the name of the other club, instead referring to them by their relative location from neighbouring towns: Schalke are disparagingly called 'Herne-West', Dortmund are mocked as being 'Lüdenscheid-Nord'. Dortmund may have had the upper hand in recent years, but Schalke were the undisputed kings of the Ruhr at the start, a 4-2 win in their first competitive meeting in 1924/25 setting the tone for 18 years of derby dominance.

That was how long  and as many games  until Dortmund finally managed a win against a side inspired by the legendary Ernst Kuzorra, and whose 'Schalker Kreisel' style of play – an early form of one-touch football or tiki-taka  saw six German Championships go to Gelsenkirchen between 1934 and 1942. Beaten 7-0 at home on three occasions and suffering 9-0 and 10-0 losses to their arch-rivals actually brought respect from Dortmund. It is unthinkable now, but the Schalke train was in fact celebrated at Dortmund station on its way back from winning their maiden title against Nuremberg in Berlin, and the squad were even escorted to the town hall to sign the golden visitors’ book. A 3-2 win over Schalke in the final of the 1946/47 Westfalenliga is seen as the turning point in the battle for local supremacy as Dortmund became the dominant force in western Germany’s top division. They claimed their first three national titles in the 1950s and early 1960s, and the battle for Ruhr Valley bragging rights was well and truly on.

Founding members of the Bundesliga in 1963, the pair exchanged home wins in the inaugural season, but BVB would soon emerge as the dominant force both regionally and nationally. Spearheaded by legendary strikers Timo Konietzka and Lothar Emmerich  the Revierderby’s all-time top scorer with 10 goals and the only player to net a hat-trick in the fixture in the Bundesliga era  Dortmund enjoyed derby day for some time. Right up until when they didn't again…Schalke went 12 competitive meetings without defeat between 1968 and 1977. That period saw the first of many iconic encounters. In September 1969, the Royal Blues took the lead in front of 40,000 fans at Dortmund's Rote Erde Stadium through Hans Pirkner's first-half strike, resulting in fans storming the pitch. The police released their dogs to try to regain control, but one named Rex instead sank its teeth into the behind of Schalke defender Friedel Rausch. Teammate Gerd Neuser was also bitten on the thigh...

The rivalry between these two Ruhr giants is immense, but there remains a mutual respect between the clubs, and the teams have even helped each other out financially on a number of occasions. The most famous example came in 1974 when Borussia were struggling with debt after relegation. Their new Westfalenstadion (now the Signal Iduna Park) had just been constructed in time for the 1974 FIFA World Cup in Germany, and Schalke were invited to inaugurate the stadium against their arch-rivals. Owing to the hosts’ financial problems, the Royal Blues agreed to the appearance without a fee and allowed Dortmund to keep all the gate receipts. Schalke would in turn invite BVB to officially open their new Arena AufSchalke (now the Veltins Arena) in 2001. In another even rarer moment of unity, both sides of the Revierderby divide were celebrating in 1997 as Dortmund and Schalke brought home European glory.
