Bosnian Cultural Center in Rödelheim: A meeting place is being created!
The Bosnian cultural center with mosque will be built in Rödelheim in 2026 as an expression of integration and community.
Bosnian Cultural Center in Rödelheim: A meeting place is being created!
Frankfurt is facing a significant urban development innovation! A textbook Bosnian cultural center is growing in Rödelheim, including a mosque and the prospect of lived integration - spectacularly implemented across the board.
The construction work has finally started. Since February, busy hands have been working at Westerbachstrasse 58 to bring the new heart of the cultural scene in Rödelheim to life. Special details: A huge area of 1,000 square meters is waiting to be filled. With a versatile prayer room, a restaurant and a parking lot on the site of a former printing company. But that's not all: inviting rooms for women and a few classrooms are also on the agenda.
The client, the association “Bosnisches Kulturzentrum Frankfurt” (BKC) – supported by its over 30 active and 2,500 reached members – fought hard for this place. The search for an ideal location took more than a decade, but now they are putting down their roots here. Challenging, but ultimately triumphant, as club chairman Said Ceric beams: “Rödelheim was our dream district!” No wonder, many members live or work here.
“Integration and tolerance you can touch”
The BKC not only has big plans, but also respect. Already awarded the Frankfurt Integration Prize in 2019, the association is on solid ground with its commitment to encounters and cohesion. The agenda includes interreligious dialogues and events that are intended to bring community and society closer together.
Recently, isolated critical voices stirred up the atmosphere, but caused little excitement. Local mayor Johannes Lauterwald approaches this with calm because he sees the connection between the cultural center and nearby refugee accommodation as unproblematic. He plans to intensively continue the exchange with the BKC in order to sustainably promote integration in Rödelheim.
The future belongs to Rödelheim
The cultural center is scheduled to open its doors in 2026 - an anticipation that resonates in Ceric's words: "We are really looking forward to the new building and to Rödelheim." With transparency, high window art and open architecture, the place focuses on welcoming hospitality. An “air number”? Absolutely not!
