Yavuz Sultan Selim Mosque

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Yavuz-Sultan-Selim mosque in Mannheim, Germany, named for Selim I, is the biggest mosque in Germany. The mosque attracts up to 3,000 Muslims every weekend.[1]

Since the mosque was opened in 1995, Muslim shops and youth centers have become a magnet for the Muslim community[1].

The mosque in Mannheim is not unique. Only a handful existed in Germany 10 years ago, but today 159 mosques dot Germany today, with 184 under construction.
