DITIB-Zentralmoschee Essen, Islamic worship center in Altendorf district, Essen, Germany.

The central mosque features a 31.44-meter diameter aluminum dome, creating the largest domed prayer space among European mosques.

The mosque replaced a former warehouse of Böhmer shoe store, with construction costs reaching 4 million euros financed through community savings and donations.

The prayer hall accommodates 360 worshippers, while the building includes public spaces, administrative offices, and residential areas for religious staff.

The facility provides 110 parking spaces with two entrances, with the main entrance on In der Hagenbeck street and a secondary entrance on Nöggerathstraße.

The 23.15-meter minaret displays letters from multiple languages, representing the Tower of Babel in its architectural design.
