The Islamic mosque was built from 1924 to 1928 according to plans of the Berlin architect K.A. Hermann in the so-called "Mogul style", modelled on Indian funeral chapels and is meanwhile the oldest mosque in Germany. The works were commissioned by the Ahmadiyya denomination from Lahore. The mosque was severely damaged in World War II, because the minarets served as machine-gun nests and were fought for heavily. After the war, the Allies pursued Germany's reconstruction.
In 1976, the MULTIBETON partner, Mamsch & Rebstock, installed underfloor heating in the mosque covering a space of 177 square metres. The building is listed since 1993.
