The Mescid-i Aksa Mosque in Fürstenfeldbruck is an important centre for the German-Turkish community in the region. In addition to daily prayers and gatherings, religious festivals and cultural events are also celebrated in the mosque. The community is also actively involved in social projects. After the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria in early 2023, the Mescid-i Aksa Mosque was able to raise a considerable amount of money for those affected by selling home-baked lahmacuns.
