In addition to the building’s entrance a man sits on the curb and smoke. “The al-Irschad mosque? You come here,” he says, and opens first one door, then another door. And in fact, behind it is several with carpets laid out and designed rooms, a prayer niche. In between, children and men to play full Rekats, the religious bow.

Easy to find it is not. But the al-Irschad mosque corner, petrified stressed the Imam. On the Website of the municipal administration, they will be listed along with the address. Also, you’ll repeatedly visited by representatives of the city of Hamburg.
