Berlin Mosque

The Berlin Mosque is an Islamic place of worship in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, featuring two tall minarets and a prominent central dome. The building displays Islamic architectural elements and accommodates approximately 400 worshippers inside.

Construction began in the 1920s and the building opened in the early months of 1928 as Germany's first standing mosque. The design drew from an architect's inspiration in Eastern building styles.

The prayer hall welcomes visitors interested in understanding Islam, creating a space where people from different backgrounds come together. The architecture and interior spaces reflect how the community gathers for daily worship and observance.

The building is easy to spot and viewable from outside, allowing visitors to admire the architecture from the surrounding area. Those wanting to see the interior should check beforehand when visits are welcome and dress respectfully.

The structure follows Mughal architecture principles with light facades and arched openings that echo Eastern classics. This blend makes it a rare example of this architectural style mix in Berlin.
