St Barbara is a cult figure in the Ruhr region. In the 1950s, miners from Upper Silesia brought her back to the Ruhr (click here for the story). She also quickly became popular here in Schalke.

The Barbara window shows the importance of underground labour, the Maloche, for Schalke. But of course football was and is also an important pillar of Schalke life. It has found its place opposite in the window of St Aloisius. Tap on the button "To the Aloisius window" below and bring it to life in AR.
