The foundation stone was laid on February 22, 1957. It is the first Ahmadiyya mosque in Germany and the first completed mosque after World War II, and the second purpose-built mosque in the country.[1] The mosque is named in honour of the Second Caliph Mirza Basheer-ud-Din Mahmood Ahmad and is located on the street of Wieckstraße. It is run by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat Deutschland K.d.ö.R. (AMJ) and was inaugurated on July 22, 1957, by Sir Muhammad Zafarullah Khan.[2]
