What is Modern Mosque Design in Penzberg about?
The Islamisches Forum in Penzberg, Germany is held up as an exemplary modern mosque project. Built in 2005, it was designed by Bosnian-German architect Alen Jasarevic to have no traditional dome or minaret but still point towards Mecca. The building uses local stone and steel with blue recycled glass, and its prayer room allows men and women to pray together but separately. It aims to represent an integrated European Islam through features like German language services and community programs.
