The 30-year-old attacker has put pen to paper on a three-year contract with 'Die Kraichgauer'.
"Everyone at the club was enthused by the idea of bringing Marius to TSG. We’re not only convinced by his footballing qualities, which he adequately demonstrated not least in the past season, but also by the person. Marius possesses many characteristics that we attach particular importance to after a season that was a learning curve for us: speed, desire, mentality, physical presence and goal threat," said TSG Hoffenheim managing director Alexander Rosen.
"Following rather intensive negotiations and numerous discussions, we’re delighted that we’ve now been able to complete the transfer. Marius waived a contractually agreed share of the transfer fee and in doing so made a decisive contribution to the success of his transfer. That shows his character and underlines his total desire to play for TSG."
Bülter, who scored 11 Bundesliga goals for Schalke last season, commented:
"I would like to thank everyone who has made a contribution to the completion of the transfer and has made it possible for me to now focus entirely on football and a new, exciting challenge. Following the first round of talks with the TSG management, it was clear to me which direction things would go. I felt highly valued from the first minute and would now like to pay the club back for the trust shown in me on the pitch."
