The Yavuz-Sultan-Selim Mosque (German: Yavuz-Sultan-Selim-Moschee) is a religious building in Mannheim, Germany, named for Selim I. Until 2008 it was the biggest mosque in Germany, and attracts up to 3,000 Muslims every weekend.[1]

Since the mosque was opened in 1995, Muslim shops and youth centers have become a magnet for the Muslim community.
