Around 5.5 million people of the total population of 83.1 million in Germany are Muslims. Many of them feel discriminated against, even though they have been living here for decades. The Muslim community is characterized by the guest workers who came to Germany between 1955 and 1973 (many left again). The 2015 refugee crisis was a turning point: at its peak, 890,000 asylum seekers came to Germany, mainly from the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, including many refugees. However, the history of Islam in Germany begins even earlier:
There have been Muslim communities in Germany for 100 years. The first were founded in Berlin. We are researching the history of Muslims in Germany. Who were the first and why did they settle here? What happened to Muslims during the Nazi era? What part did they play in Germany's economic miracle?
