The building opens up to all visitors through the generous outside stairs, creating the feeling that the public space extends into the building complex via the inviting stairs. In this way, fears of thresholds and contact are reduced and the inviting character of the building and the community equally emphasized. <\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4> In the classification, the building opens up to the visitor under many aspects and offers various approaches. In this way, the visitor can take and direct each of his steps in accordance with his or her individual expectations, speed and curiosity. Different building elements invite visitors to different occasions, which the mosque visitor can consciously do without having the feeling of being confronted with something strange or unexpected.   <\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4> The building lowers inhibition thresholds in its design language and communication and at the same time increases curiosity and fascination. So there is already the possibility in the entrance area to first sniff the &#8220;atmosphere&#8221;, to approach the whole thing step by step and to open up, in the process, carried by a maelstrom of curiosity and expectation, to open up the whole for yourself.  <\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4> The new mosque thus creates new perspectives and opportunities to meet the supposedly foreign and at the same time fascinatingly familiar. <\/h4>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8052133319358801\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8052133319358801\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9404454092\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4> With the new building, an attractive, contemporary and functional community center has been created, as well as a dignified, representative church.
