The
Halbmondlager
(known in English as the "Half Moon Camp") was a prisoner-of-war camp
in Wünsdorf (now part of Zossen), Germany, during the First World War.
The camp housed between 4,000 and 5,000 Muslim
prisoners of war who had fought for the Allied side. The intended purpose of the camp was to convince detainees to wage jihad against the United Kingdom and France. To that end, "detainees lived in relative luxury and were given everything they needed to practice their faith". It was the site of the first mosque to be built in Germany, a large and ornate wooden structure finished in July 1915. The mosque, modeled on the Dome of the Rock, was demolished in 1925–26 owing to disrepair.
There are several new articles about the camp available on the internet.
