Welcome
DITIB Bayreuth Ertuğrul Gazi Mosque is a place of gathering, worship and solidarity for Bayreuth and its surroundings. Our activities include religious services, education, youth work, cultural events, social support and funeral services with a modern washing facility and morgue.

Passing on the trust of our elders to future generations and preserving this spiritual home for our children is our foremost duty.
Our mosque welcomes people of all nations and ages and looks to the future with confidence.
We thank all our volunteers and donors for their support.

Verse of the Day
[This] worldly life is only amusement and diversion. And if you believe and fear Allah, He will give you your rewards and not ask you for your properties.
(Muhammad, 47/36)Hadith of the Day
He who lets the people hear of his good deeds intentionally, to win their praise, Allah will let the people know his real intention (on the Day of Resurrection), and he who does good things in public to show off and win the praise of the people, Allah will disclose his real intention (and humiliate him).
(Bukhari, Riqaq, 36; Muslim, Zuhd, 48)Prayer of the Day
May Allah grant you happiness in this world and in the Hereafter.
(Ahmad bin Hanbal, Musnad, 9, 440)About

Timeline

Below are the decision dates and the resolutions adopted, in chronological order:
- 05/04/1981: The statutes were adopted and the association was founded; founding name: “Arbeitskreis zur Förderung der Beziehungen zwischen Deutschen und Türken”. Founding chair: Monika Neuber; deputy chair: Erol Turgut.
- 02/07/1981: Registered in the association register.
- 19/02/1983: The General Assembly resolved to rename the association to “Deutsch – Türkischer Freundschaftskreis”.
- 04/03/1988: The General Assembly resolved to rename the association to “Türkisch – Islamische Gemeinde e.V.” and endorsed membership in DİTİB; with this decision the association became a mosque association, and the first mosque was established in the rented basement of a building at the intersection of Feustelstraße and Bürgerreutherstraße.
- 13/05/1989: By resolution of the General Assembly, the association’s name was changed to “Türkische Gemeinde e.V.”.
- 01/10/1995: The Extraordinary General Assembly decided to amend the bylaws and adopt the new text, renaming the association to “Diyanet türkisch-islamischer Kulturverein für Bayreuth und Umgebung”. The General Assembly also decided to purchase the building at Brandenburgerstraße 51.

From the day our association was founded until today – from the basement to our present magnificent mosque – may Allah be pleased with all those who have contributed to our association and thus to our mosque, who have supported us both materially and spiritually, and who have remembered us in their prayers. May He grant mercy to those who have passed away and make Paradise their abode; and may He bless those still living with a healthy and blessed life.
