Plans for the new building

Note: Next to the projected place of the future mosque is a firewall that may be used for projection.The new mosque will be in direct neighborhood to a church.

The Mosque in Sendling, Munich, Germany, is situated on Schanzenbachstrasse. The Mosque has existed there since 1989 as an Islamic prayer house mainly for Turkish Muslims. The official Turkish name of the Mosque is Diyanet İşleri Türk İslam Merkezi, which reads as German Turkish-Islamic center for the Institute for Religion. This is shortened to DITIM, and is also designated to the Mosque association, to which 42 members and their families belong.
. The Schanzenbachstrasse Mosque is the biggest of the three Mosques in Munich, and is laid out for apporoximately 130 visitors. This has proved in practice untenable, as at peak times, up to 700 visitors come to pray. For this reason DITIB has submitted 2004 plans for a change to the building, which has caused resistance among people living near the building. Therefore, DITIB worked with the city of Munich to help find a suitable place for a new building, at Gotzinger Place. However, these new building plans were also attacked, and the Press have covered the arguments since Spring of 2005, under the title Sendlinger Mosque Controversy
