Excellent... you got those correct

answers to question 2
Schalke became German champions in 1934, 1935, 1937, 1939, 1940, 1942 and 1958, which means they were never champions during the Bundesliga. They won the German Cup four times (1937, 1972, 2001, and 2002). lol

answer 5: The standard salary in those days was 5 reichsmark... which was in itself not sufficient, so players had another job. Instead of the allowed 5 Reichsmark, 14 players from Schalke 04 received 10 Reichsmark, which made them professional players and was therefore illegal. Schalke had to pay a fine of 1600 Reichsmark and was excluded from the Westphalian Football Association for five months.

answer 8: Schalke’s manager Rudi Assauer dropped the cup from the wagon on which they were standing. After this accident, the cup looked really crooked, and a new one had to be manufactured.

will post more as I get them
