Ham­burg: From the “Mul­lah Cent­re” to a “Memo­ri­al to the Vic­tims of Isla­mism”

In Ham­burg, a broad, plu­ra­li­stic alli­ance is cal­ling for the con­fis­ca­ted “Mul­lah Cent­re” to be con­ver­ted into a “Memo­ri­al to the Vic­tims of Isla­mism.” The con­cept envi­sa­ges five func­tions for the site’s reu­se: along­side the memo­ri­al, a con­sti­tu­ti­on-com­pli­ant pray­er space, a Docu­men­ta­ti­on Cent­re Poli­ti­cal Islam, a youth edu­ca­ti­on cam­pus, and a Jina cul­tu­ral cent­re. The pro­po­sal aims to anchor remem­brance, docu­men­ta­ti­on, and public edu­ca­ti­on — “from Ham­burg, for Ger­ma­ny and the world.”
