Open Mosque Day: Bremen communities invite you to meet!

On October 3rd, eleven mosques opened their doors in Bremen to celebrate the open mosque day. This event, organized by Schura Bremen, offers the opportunity for interested parties to learn more about Islam and to promote the exchange between Muslims and non-Muslims. This year's motto "Every life counts - Every Life Matters!" underlines the appreciation of all life, regardless of origin or art.

"In today's world, when the increasing pressure in Germany also affects minorities, dialogue is more important than ever," said Ömer-Faruk Coban, board member of Schura Bremen and volunteer leader of the Fatih Mosque. The day of the open mosque is intended to help society develop a better understanding of the religious reality of life of Muslims. Visitors are invited to ask questions and learn more about faith.

In Bremerhaven, the Al-Hasanate Mosque and the Fatih Mosque offered guided tours for guests. The Al-Hasanate Mosque invited to guided tours at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., while the Fatih Mosque held guided tours at 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. About 200 to 250 people usually take part in the tours in the Fatih Mosque; The other Bremen mosques also receive many visitors.

Visitors should remember to take off their shoes when entering the mosques.
