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.
(See large) A beautiful mosque at sunset in Sharjah. Sharjah is one of seven emirates that form the United Arab Emirates. It is adjacent to Dubai.
In old times, before the availability of speakers, a moazzin, or the person who calls to prayers 5 times a day would climb up the minaret and announce the call to prayer from the top of the minaret.
The Fatih Mosque was the first built in Turkish style mosque in northern Europe (1989).

(fairy tale) lighting of the Mosque
The pillars of the mosque are not far removed from the rock-cut pillars at Ellora - bulky, with square and octagonal sections contrasted. It's intriguing to see some kind of continuity over seven or eight centuries, and despite the change of religion.
The mosque in Bohoniki was originally built when the Tartar Muslim community settled in the 17th century, though it is said that the recent one dates to the mid 19th century.
Read the background on the Polish Tartar Muslim community:

A delightful small mosque in the style typical of the Sultanate of Bijapur, seen from the caves at Badami.
Dari Abu Qotadah Radliyallaahu 'anhu bahwa Rasulullah Shallallaahu 'alaihi wa Sallam bersabda: "Jika seseorang di antara kamu memasuki masjid maka janganlah ia duduk kecuali setelah sembahyang dua rakaat.
Formerly, the site of the mosque was occupied by the Augustinian Church of Saint Mary, which dated back to the 14th century. During the Ottoman-Venetian War of 1570-73, the church was first heavily damaged during the siege of Nicosia in 1570, and was eventually leveled after the war.
The construction of the mosque followed a similar ground plan to the former church, however building of the mosque was conducted in the Islamic style.
S'étendant sur 400.000 m², la Grande Mosquée d'Alger, construite au centre de la baie d'Alger, est la plus grande mosquée d'Afrique et serait la 3e plus grande mosquée du monde - en termes de superficie.
Son minaret, culminant à 265 mètres, est, actuellement, le plus haut minaret du monde.

We planned to shoot a session of modelling, but the model were still sleeping! we suspected :P But it turned out to be a clear day in some part of Jakarta, which is very rare moment. So we headed to Sunda Kelapa Port and then to this Magnifying Mosque, located in the heart of Jakarta. Subhanallah.

Friday Mosques derive their name from the prayers that are said there on Fridays.
According to Wikipedia,
"Friday Mosque is the English translation of the Arabic term masjid al-jumʿa (Arabic: مسجد الجمعة 'Mosque of [the day of] Assembly') or Jama Masjid."
"This term is applied as a proper name to many mosques worldwide. Friday – in Arabic, 'the Day of Assembly' – is the day for communal prayer in which all male Muslims are called to pray communally for the noon-time prayer in Islam, the equivalent of the Jewish Sabbath prayers (which runs from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday) and Christian churchgoing on Sundays."
"Every Islamic community has a mosque for this purpose. Friday Mosque is thus the most common name for mosques worldwide."

"The Jāmeh Mosque of Yazd (Persian: مسجد جامع یزد - Masjid-e-Jāmeh Yazd) is the grand, congregational mosque (Jāmeh) of Yazd city, within the Yazd Province of Iran. The mosque is depicted on the obverse of the Iranian 200 rials banknote."
"The 12th century mosque is still in use today. It was first built under Ala'oddoleh Garshasb of the Al-e Bouyeh dynasty. The mosque was largely rebuilt between 1324 and 1365, and is one of the outstanding 14th century buildings of Iran."
"The mosque is a fine specimen of the Azari style of Persian architecture. The mosque is crowned by a pair of minarets, the highest in Iran, and the portal's facade is decorated from top to bottom in dazzling tile work, predominantly blue in colour. Within is a long arcaded courtyard where, behind a deep-set south-east iwan, is a sanctuary chamber (shabestan). This chamber, under a squat tiled dome, is exquisitely decorated with faience mosaic: its tall faience Mihrab, dated 1365, is one of the finest of its kind in existence."

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi is the largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates and the eighth largest mosque in the world. It is named after Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founder and the first President of the United Arab Emirates, who is also buried there.
The design of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque has been inspired by both Mughal and Moorish mosque architecture, particularly the Badshahi Mosque in Lahore and the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca being direct influences. The dome layout and floorplan of the mosque was inspired by the Badshahi Mosque and the architecture was inspired by both Mughal and Moorish design.
The Mosque is large enough to accommodate 40,000 worshippers. The main prayer hall can accommodate up to 9,000 worshippers. Two rooms next to the main prayer hall, with a 1,500-capacity each, are for the exclusive use of women.
There are four minarets on the four corners of the mosque which rise about 115 m (377 ft) in height. There are 57 domes covering the outside yard and the main building as well. The domes are decorated with white Bianco marble from Pietrasanta, Italy and the interior decoration is made of white marble from Laas, Italy. The courtyard is paved with floral marble designs and measures about 17,000 m2 (180,000 sq ft).
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.
Istanbul's imperial Mosque of Sultan Ahmet I (Sultan Ahmet Camii) is called the Blue Mosque because of its interior tiles, mostly on the upper level and difficult to see unless you're right up there with them.
The mosque (built 1603-17) is the masterwork of Ottoman architect Sedefkâr Mehmet Ağa. It's built on the site of the Great Palace of Byzantium, on the southeastern side of the Hippodrome (map).
With its six minarets and a great cascade of domes, the mosque is a worthy sibling to Ayasofya (Hagia Sophia) just a few minutes' stroll to the north.
