Fatih Moschee, Islamic mosque in Katernberg district, Essen, Germany.

The Fatih Mosque features a 30-meter minaret and a 15-meter dome, accommodating hundreds of worshippers in its prayer hall and gallery.

Following a 1995 arson attack on their previous prayer house, the Turkish community collaborated with city officials to construct this new mosque in 1997.

The mosque interior displays mosaic tiles and Arabic inscriptions, with red floor tiles arranged in prayer rug patterns throughout the space.

The facility includes a youth club room in the basement, office spaces, a cafe, and a large event hall for community gatherings.

The mosque received a Federal Social City Competition award in 2000 for its collaborative initiative between the mosque association and neighbors.
