Mosque building in Zwickau: Application rejected - what for the believers?

Zwickau, Deutschland - In Zwickau, a planned building application ensures a Muslim prayer house for discussions after the AfD made aware of this at a city council meeting. According to the reporting of Radio Zwickau , however, the mayor has not yet made an application to build a mosque, nor Approval was granted. One more thing becomes clear that the city of Zwickau is about planned Mohammedan construction projects that were ultimately not implemented into reality.

The association Al Ansar, which has been active near the main train station for years, recently submitted a building application, which, however, does not include a dome, no minaret or extension. Instead, the aim is to use existing rooms as club and prayer rooms and to roof over a terrace. In the past two years, two preliminary construction inquiries for a mosque with a minaret on Reichenbacher Straße have already been placed. The first request was withdrawn, while the second was rejected by the responsible authorities, which led to a contradiction that was also rejected.

monitoring and planned mosques in Saxony

in the entire Saxons are larger projects in the pipeline. As Sächsische.de are reported in the four largest cities- Leipzig, Dresden, Chemnitz and Zwickau - a total of five new Islamic prayer rooms and mosques planned. At a parliamentary request from the AfD, the Interior Minister Armin Schuster (CDU) informed that the "Islamic Community in Saxony al-Rahman Mosque" in Leipzig is most advanced. This is planned from the new construction of a former cultural center and is intended to offer space for around 1000 believers. The opening is planned in the coming months, with the municipality already using the Al-Rahman mosque in Roscherstrasse.

However, the Muslim community is not undisputed. The Saxon Constitutional Protection observes the municipality and its long -time Imam Hassan Dabbagh, which is considered a central figure of political Salafism. Interestingly, only a few visitors tend to Salafism, such as Journalistenwatch . There are an estimated 270 supporters of this current across the saxony, which further heats up the discussion about the construction and presence of the Muslim communities in Saxony.
