Haus des Islam, Islamic community center in Lützelbach, Germany
The Haus des Islam is a community center for German-speaking Muslims located in a former hotel building in the Odenwald region. It provides spaces for instruction, gatherings, and various activities that support the community's learning and social connection.
The center was founded in 1982 by Muhammad Siddiq Borgfeldt to create a platform for German-speaking Muslims. The building was later acquired through donations from local supporters and Muslims from Kuwait, reflecting the international solidarity of the community.
The center serves as a meeting place for language classes and discussion circles where German-speaking Muslims gather to explore their faith and life in Germany. These regular gatherings shape daily life at the house and create space for exchange across generations.
Visitors should know that the center primarily serves as a meeting place for community events and organized courses, so checking regular opening times is advised. The house is located in a rural area, so planning transportation in advance is helpful.
The center operates its own publishing house specializing in German-language Islamic literature, producing books on matters of faith and religious topics. These publications enable German-speaking Muslims to access theological works and guides in their own language.
