The Wilmersdorfer Mosque ({{Langx|de|Wilmersdorfer Moschee}}), also known as Berlin Mosque, in Berlin is situated on Brienner Straße 7–8 in Berlin-Wilmersdorf. It was designed by {{thinspace|K.|A.}} Hermann and was built between 1923 and 1925. Berlin Mosque, which has two {{convert|90|ft|m|order=flip|adj=mid|-tall}} minarets, was heavily damaged in World War II. The two minarets were rebuilt in 1999/2001.

The foundation stone was laid on 6 August 1923[http://www.luise-berlin.de/Kalender/Jahr/1923.htm Berlin im Jahr 1923] and the mosque was inaugurated officially on 26 April 1925.Die Berliner Moschee und Mission der Ahmadiyya-Bewegung zur Verbreitung des Islam (Lahore), S. 12f.

The space is built in Mughal architecture style, reflecting the great buildings of that time with onion dome and pastel colors.{{Cite book|title=The transnational mosque : architecture and historical memory in the contemporary Middle East|last=Rizvi, Kishwar|isbn=978-1-4696-2495-2|location=Chapel Hill|oclc=923254240|year = 2015}} This makes the building very similar to the tombs of the Mughal Empire. The building's symmetry also reflects that of the Taj Mahal. Next to the mosque is the residence of the Imam, the religious head of the mosque. The Imam's residence stands at two stories tall.{{Cite web|url=https://www.muslim.org/activities/berlin/index.htm|title=Reports of renovation work at the Berlin Mosque|website=muslim.org|access-date=2019-12-09}}

The mosque is owned and maintained by the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement (Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha'at-i-Islam Lahore).
