Abstract
Looking at the fragmented documents of Muslim community life at mosques, bringing together different types of materials and creating mosque archives is a challenging endeavour, as shown by the contributions in this volume. This contribution asks for the implication the archives, once collected and considered as parts of a larger picture, can have for the formation of a Muslim collective memory. Connecting different archives – with their singular experiences – into collective forms of memory, similar experiences and ruptures come to the surface and a new perspective on a shared German history is articulated. As the collective memory is a reservoir to understand the past, giving meaning to the present, and a source for the future, this process has a social and political dimension. The process of creating a Muslim collective memory will fill blanks within German history and add new chapters, but will at the same time change Muslim self-perception and self-positioning by recentring their sometimes ambiguous experiences within a larger setting.

"Der Aufsatz zeigt, dass sowohl Kemalismus als auch der politisch motivierte Islam dem zeitlichen Wandel unterliegen. Der Kemalismus hat den Islam in das eigene Zivilisationsprojekt integriert, gleichzeitig wurde der politische Islam von den kemalistischen Staatsvorstellungen eines Staates, der von oben die Gesellschaft plant, geprägt. Die proeuropäische Politik der AK-Partei ist nur zu verstehen, wenn man die Entwicklungen im türkischen Islam in den neunziger Jahren berücksichtigt. Diese haben den Islam mit dem säkularen Staat versöhnt und gleichzeitig dem kulturellen Pluralismus in der Türkei ein neues Fundament gegeben. Hiermit hat die Türkei einen entscheidenden Impuls in Richtung EU erhalten." (Autorenreferat)
