It was an incredibly entertaining affair with all four goals coming after the break.
Dortmund went ahead twice, only for Schalke to respond on both occasions.
The opener came courtesy of Shinji Kagawa, who sent a glorious chip to the top corner after some terrific interplay.
Leroy Sane replied almost immediately for the home side before Mattias Ginter put Dortmund back in the driving seat.
But Klaas-Jan Huntelaar equalised from the penalty spot after 66 minutes and neither side could find a winner.
