The Ibn Rushd-Goethe Mosque is a liberal, interdenominational place of Islamic prayer in the Moabit district of Berlin's Mitte borough, in the Stephankiez area along Alt-Moabit. It follows a progressive understanding of Islam: women and men are regarded as equal and pray together, and the same applies to LGBTQI Muslims. The mosque has no building of its own and uses a room in the annex buildings of the Protestant St. John's church. Its name refers to Ibn Rushd and Goethe.

From Wikipedia
The Ibn Rushd-Goethe Mosque (German: Ibn-Rushd-Goethe-Moschee; Arabic: مسجد ابن رشد - جوته) is a mosque in the Mitte district of Berlin, Germany. It is the only self-described liberal mosque in the country and the first in the world. Founded in June 2017 by Seyran Ateş, a German lawyer and Muslim feminist of Turkish and Kurdish descent, the mosque was named in honour of medieval Andalusian-Arabic polymath Ibn Rushd and German writer and statesman Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The liberal mosque bans face-covering, allows women and men to pray together, and accepts LGBT worshippers.
