Abstract
Space is much more than a place that can be defined only by its physical characteristics. Every space has an experience and an ideology or idea that it holds. However, even though space represents an idea, it evokes different feelings and thoughts in each person. Therefore, space is a multidimensional element directly related to the identity and culture of the individual and society. This characteristic of space can also be seen in the mosques built by expatriates who migrated to Germany as workers in 1961. In fact, not only has the function of the mosques and their architecture changed in 50 years, but so has the identity and culture of the European Turks who were born and raised there and now define themselves as part of German society. Therefore, the change in identity and culture is directly related to the change in the architecture and function of the space. To determine this relationship, this study examined the effects of the Berlin Martyrdom Mosque and the Cologne Central Mosque on the participants.
