Islamic Centre Hamburg

The Islamic Centre Hamburg features a blue-domed structure with two minarets and traditional architectural elements along the Outer Alster Lake.

Iranian merchants established the Islamic Centre Hamburg in 1953, leading to construction between 1960 and 1965 with funding of 2 million Deutsche Mark.

The mosque functions as a central location for Shia Islamic practices in Germany, offering prayer spaces, educational programs, and interfaith community gatherings.

The main prayer hall accommodates 1500 people, with separate areas designated for men in front sections and women in inner circles or gallery spaces.

Four German architects collaborated with Iranian designers to create this religious center, incorporating Middle Eastern architectural patterns into Hamburg's urban landscape.
