Description
Autumn view of the Red mosque in the gardens of Schwetzingen Palace , Germany. This listed building, constructed in 1779–1795 by Nicolas de Pigage as the first mosque-style building in Germany, was never a real Muslim mosque but was supposed to express the tolerance of the Enlightenment towards all religions. The photograph includes the so-called Moscheeweiher in front of the building, because the mosque was deliberately planned by de Pigage as a component of the park, and so I consider this as the view intended by de Pigage. It was not possible to show the mosque completely from this point of view, as the trees always cover parts of it. But these trees are a part of the park ensemble, too, at least in its current state.
