Mosques in Mulhouse

Mulhouse is the second city of the Haut-Rhin department and the core of the m2A urban area, with around 110,000 inhabitants. A former industrial capital of textiles and later of the automobile, the city is home to a long-established Muslim community and several prayer venues spread between the centre, the Nouveau Bassin, Bourtzwiller and Dornach districts.

Where to find a mosque in Mulhouse

Five Muslim places of worship are listed in the commune. En Nasr Mosque, on Rue Schwilgué, serves the Rebberg district and the southern part of the centre. As-Salam Mosque and Clémence Center lie to the north-west, in the Franklin and Fridolin area. Koba Mosque is located in Bourtzwiller, a working-class district in the north of the city. Annour Center is on the eastern side, near Coteaux. All hold the five daily prayers and Friday prayer. For an additional prayer hall, Al Houda Mosque in Illzach is less than ten minutes away by car.

Public transport access

The Soléa network covers the whole commune with three tram lines (1, 2, 3) linking the centre, the station and the outer districts. Bus lines complete the grid towards Bourtzwiller, Dornach and Rebberg. Mulhouse-Ville station is a major TGV hub, with direct services to Paris, Strasbourg, Lyon and Basel. The A35 crosses the urban area from north to south, and the A36 serves the west.

Local context

Mulhouse was long nicknamed the « French Manchester » for its textile past, inherited from the great industrial families of the 19th century. The city has kept a remarkable heritage with the Cité du Train, the Cité de l'Automobile and the printed textile museum. Halal shops, butchers and Middle-Eastern grocers are plentiful in the Franklin district, around Place de la Concorde and in the Bourtzwiller area. The covered canal market, held several times a week, draws a very mixed crowd. The banks of the Ill river and Parc Salvator offer green spaces close to the centre.
