德国第一代南亚穆斯林社群及其对后世的影响

The First Generation of South Asian Muslim Communities in Germany And its influence on future generations

德国的穆斯林社群是由土耳其穆斯林移民主导着的,具有强烈的土耳其色彩,南亚裔穆斯林在德国的历史几乎不被大众所知,实际上,南亚裔穆斯林在德国广大的穆斯林社群中占有重要的一席之地。20世纪初德国的第一代南亚穆斯林社群表现出了活动阵地中心化、成员身份多样化、社群生活正式化和制度化等突出特征;同时他们还建造了德国第一座正式的、大型的清真寺,组建了在德国拥有注册身份的正式的穆斯林社团和协会。尤为重要的是,他们为后来以印度和巴基斯坦为主的南亚裔移民前往德国提供了引领和榜样作用,并为他们在德国的发展打下了基础。

South-Asian Muslims take an important place in the broad German Muslim community. The first generation of South-Asian Muslim communities were featured as a centralized activity place, diversified membership, formalized and institutionalized community life and so on. Meanwhile, they built up the first formal and large mosque in Germany, along with registered Muslim association and community.
