Baitus Sami Mosque (Engl.: House of The Hearer) is located in the German city of Hannover, Lower Saxony. The Baitus Sami is the first and currently (2010) the "only mosque in Hanover with a dome and minaret." Built for the Ahmadiyya movement, the mosque area comprises approximately 2,800 square metres, with space for 300 worshippers. It is located on a street in an industrial area, outside the residential area. It was inaugurated in August 2008 by the Caliph of the community, Mirza Masroor Ahmad. The construction of the Mosque was opposed by many local people, with sometimes violent protests.
