The Berlin Mosque, officially the Wilmersdorfer Mosque (German: Wilmersdorfer Moschee), is a mosque located in the Wilmersdorf borough of Berlin, Germany. Situated on Brienner Straße 7–8, the mosque was designed by K. A. Hermann and was built between 1923 and 1925. Berlin Mosque, which has two 27-metre-tall (90 ft) minarets, was heavily damaged in World War II. The two minarets were rebuilt between 1999 and 2001. The mosque is owned and administered by the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement (Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha'at-i-Islam Lahore). The foundation stone was laid on 6 August 1923 and the mosque was inaugurated officially on 26 April 1925. Completed in a Neo-Mughal style, reflecting the great buildings of that time with onion dome and pastel colors, the mosque is similar to the tombs of the Mughal Empire. The building's symmetry also reflects that of the Taj Mahal. Next to the mosque is the two-storey residence of the imam.
