The Umar Ibn Al Khattab Mosque stands in the Kreuzberg district of Berlin, where Wiener Straße meets Skalitzer Straße, close to the Görlitzer Bahnhof underground station. It is named after Umar ibn al-Khattab, the early Islamic caliph. The building has a small dome and four minarets, each about seven metres high, along the roofline and topped with gilded crescents. The prayer hall, which has a two-storey gallery, holds more than 1,000 worshippers. The mosque forms part of a complex with the seven-storey Maschari Center, which houses banquet halls for celebrations, a Quran school, boutiques, cafés and a supermarket.
