Alperenler-Moschee Rheinfelden, Islamic mosque in Rheinfelden, Germany.
The Alperenler-Moschee is a modern prayer house for the Muslim community in Rheinfelden with dedicated prayer halls, classroom spaces, administrative offices, and areas for community events. A slender minaret roughly 21 meters tall stands prominently on the structure.
The Turkish-Islamic community of Rheinfelden was founded on 26 October 1986 and first prayed in barracks of the power transmission works on Schildgasse. A 2,000 m² plot in the industrial area was bought for 180,000 DM, and the shell, built by Ali Hafizoğlu's French firm with volunteers and machines from Willi Henke, was finished in 1996. The 20.8 m minaret followed in 2003/2004.
The mosque functions as a gathering place for the Turkish-Muslim community in the city, serving both as a prayer space and a center for education and social activities. It reflects the presence and integration of this religious community within the local area.
The building is located in Rheinfelden's industrial area and can be found without difficulty. Visitors planning to enter should check prayer times beforehand and wear appropriate clothing and footwear.
The construction relied on volunteer work from community members and local supporters, showing cooperation beyond the community itself. An engineer from nearby Schopfheim even donated the initial architectural drawings for the project.
