Hamburg features several notable mosques including the beautiful Al-Nour Mosque and the historic Islamic Center Hamburg, which has served the community since the 1960s and represents one of the early centers of Islamic life in northern Germany. The city is home to approximately 130,000 Muslims from various backgrounds, particularly Turkish, Afghan, and Arab communities that have contributed significantly to Hamburg's multicultural landscape. Hamburg's Islamic heritage is reflected in its diverse halal food scene, Islamic schools, and active Muslim organizations that maintain strong connections to Islamic traditions while integrating into German society.
