The interreligious dialogue is cultivated in a variety of ways through various events, including days of the open mosque as well as contacts with neighbors, school visits and multi-cultural festivals.
According to Imam Ercan Üstün, a Muslim burial place was set up in Lauda. In a discussion in January 2017 between the coordination team of emergency chaplains from the Main-Tauber district and Muslim chaplains, Üstun added: “This would also be desirable in other cities in the district”. The need is given, since not all deceased Muslims are transferred to their home countries.
