It is property of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, and the first mosque in former East Germany, opening on 16 October 2008.

The mosque has a 12-metre-high (39 ft)[clarification needed] minaret and has capacity for 500 worshippers.

The mosque was financed by funds collected by Ahmadiyya women and the design was done by the architect Mubashra Ilyas.
