Das BIld zeigt eine türkische Moschee in Köln. Nur das kleine Hinweisschild im Hauseingang weist auf die Moschee im Untergeschoß hin. Ansonsten handelt es sich um ein ganz normales Hochhaus am Rande Kölns.
A documentation of mosques in germany. Many mosques in germany are located in industrial areas or backyards. This series aims to document typical mosques in germany beside the representative ones.
I got the idea for this report or documentation while looking for an arabic mosque for some colleagues from cairo. While searching for it I was surprised of the number and different kinds of mosques located in cologne and found it very interesting where there are located - mostly in the backyard. I remembered the book "Churches" from David Spero and started my own series.
Hope you enjoy it.
In Deutschland finden sich Moscheen meist in Gewerbegebieten oder auf Hinterhöfen.
Mit dieser Bildserie möchte ich typische Moscheen in Deutschland - zu Beginn in Köln - dokumentieren.
Auf die Idee für diese Serie kam ich, als ich für einen ägyptischen Kollegen, der uns für mehrere Monate in Köln besucht hat, eine Moschee gesucht habe. Dabei wurde ich nicht nur von der großen Anzahl und den vielen unterschiedlichen Arten von Moscheen überrascht sondern auch von der Tatsache, dass die meisten Moscheen in sehr schlichten und nach aussen praktisch unauffälligen Gebäuden - häufig in Gewerbegebieten aber auch in ganz normalen Wohnhäusern - untergebracht sind. Ich fühlte mich sofort an den Bildband "Churches" von David Spero erinnert und lege nun mit einer eigenen Serie los - Moscheen.
Viel Spaß dabei und Kommentare und Diskussionen sind wie immer ausdrücklich erwünscht.
The Mihrimah Sultan Mosque is an Ottoman mosque located in the historic center of the Üsküdar municipality in Istanbul, Turkey.
The Mihrimah Sultan Mosque is one of Üsküdar's best-known landmarks and takes its nicknames from the ferry landing near which it stands. It is the first of two mosques built by Mihrimah Sultan, daughter of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and wife of Grand Vizier Rüstem Pasha. It was designed by Mimar Sinan and built between 1546 and 1548. It is a massive structure on a raised platform and already shows several hallmarks of Sinan's mature style[citation needed]: a spacious, high-vaulted basement, slender minarets, a single-domed baldacchino flanked by three semi-domes ending in three exedrae and a broad double portico. Mihr-î-Mah means Sun and Moon.
