Fatih-Moschee

Fatih-Moschee, Turkish Islamic mosque in Pforzheim, Germany.

The Fatih-Moschee in Pforzheim is a domed mosque built from 1990 to 1992, the first mosque erected in Baden-Württemberg. Its minaret rises 23 metres. The prayer hall holds 750 people, 150 of them on the women's gallery. The design was drawn up by Gökcen Sungurtekin.

The foundation stone was laid on 17 March 1990 and the mosque was inaugurated on 26 September 1992, making it the first mosque built in Baden-Württemberg. The planning was carried out by Gökcen Sungurtekin, and construction cost 5.5 million marks. The Diyanet contributed 125,000 marks and the city of Pforzheim donated 4,000 marks.

The name Fatih ("the Conqueror") refers to Sultan Mehmed II, who took Constantinople in 1453. The mosque belongs to the Türkisch-islamische Union der Anstalt für Religion Pforzheim e. V., part of the DITIB network, and the prayer hall holds 750 people, 150 of them on the women's gallery. A chandelier for the hall was donated by Pforzheim's Protestant and Catholic churches, a collection that proved controversial.

The prayer hall holds 750 people, with a women's gallery for 150, so Friday prayers are the busiest times. The building stands at the coordinates 48.89920, 8.72667 in Pforzheim and is run by the DITIB-affiliated Türkisch-islamische Union der Anstalt für Religion Pforzheim e. V. Visitors should dress modestly and remove shoes before entering the prayer hall.

The chandelier in the prayer hall was donated through a collection by Pforzheim's Protestant and Catholic churches, a contribution that proved controversial. Diyanet, Turkey's religious affairs authority, gave 125,000 marks toward construction, and the city of Pforzheim donated 4,000 marks.
