The project is based on the observation that the identities Muslim and Islam are increasingly negotiated and becoming significant categories at a local and municipal level in Germany, thus being affected and shaped, that is, configurated, in new ways within specific local and urban contexts. It is the local level, where Islam becomes most visible and an issue of local policies and administration, where a part of the population is addressed as muslim, where the relations between muslims and non-muslims are configurated in interactions. The project is addressing a research gap, as the scientific debate, so far, has tended to concentrate either on the national level, if dealing with Islam-related representations and policies, or exclusively on individual identity-building processes. On the basis of two detailed case-studies, Erlangen and Osnabrück, and in the course of four closely interlocked work-packages (WPs) the project is going to analyse comparatively two local configurations of Muslims and Islam, integrating the local perspective in a wider German context. At first, WP1 scrutinizes central moments of supra-local discourses and decisions on Muslims and Islam in Germany, framing the case studies. At the same time, it asks if and to what extend Muslims and Islam are becoming objects of municipal politics and administration practices in German major cities. WP2 analyzes specific local paths of development in Erlangen and Osnabrück from 1970 until today and asks, when, where and in what ways Muslims and Islam had become visible or had been made visible on a local level. WP3 takes a more ethnographic perspective, and will examine current practices and places of everyday configurations of Muslims and Islam. It explores how the processes of becoming a Muslim subject (and of reshaping such identities) are connected to local contexts, e.g. to a locally organized Islam or local communal politics. Here, it is of interest that new Islamic-theological Institutes were just recently established in both case-studies, so that WP3 is also asking for the conditions and effects of that academic institutionalization of Islam at a local level. WP4 finally further contextualizes the case-studies by examining additional# German local contexts. Through the application of this overall wide perspective the project promises new insights for the socio-political debate on Islam in Germany that could also be relevant for the practice of municipal politics. The project locates itself within a dynamic and multi-disciplinary discussion on the (new) meanings of religion for the arrangement of urban, post-secular societies and communal politics of identity that has been a predominantly English-speaking debate so far. For the German scientific context, it thus enriches the fields of Social and Urban Geography as well as the fields of a Geography of Migration and Religion and respective neighbouring disciplines.

该项目的基础是观察到穆斯林和伊斯兰教的身份越来越多地在德国地方和市政一级进行谈判，并成为重要的类别，因此在特定的地方和城市环境中受到影响和塑造，即以新的方式配置。在地方一级，伊斯兰教成为最引人注目的地方，成为地方政策和行政管理的问题，一部分人口被视为穆斯林，穆斯林和非穆斯林之间的关系在互动中被配置。该项目正在解决一个研究缺口，因为到目前为止，科学辩论往往集中在国家层面，如果处理与伊斯兰有关的代表和政策，或者只集中在个人身份建立过程上。在埃尔兰根和奥斯纳布尔<e:2>克两个详细案例研究的基础上，在四个紧密相连的工作包（wp）的过程中，该项目将比较分析穆斯林和伊斯兰教的两种地方配置，将当地视角整合到更广泛的德国背景中。首先，WP1仔细研究了德国关于穆斯林和伊斯兰教的超地方话语和决定的核心时刻，构建了案例研究。与此同时，它还提出了一个问题：穆斯林和伊斯兰教是否以及在多大程度上正在成为德国主要城市市政政治和行政实践的对象。WP2分析了埃尔兰根和奥斯纳布尔<e:1>克从1970年至今的具体地方发展道路，并提出了穆斯林和伊斯兰教在何时、何地以及以何种方式在地方层面上变得可见或被可见的问题。WP3采取了更多的民族志视角，并将研究穆斯林和伊斯兰教日常配置的当前实践和场所。它探讨了成为一个穆斯林主体（以及重塑这样的身份）的过程是如何与当地环境联系起来的，例如，与当地有组织的伊斯兰教或当地的社区政治。这里，有趣的是，在这两个案例研究中，新的伊斯兰神学研究所都是最近才成立的，因此WP3也在询问伊斯兰教在地方层面的学术制度化的条件和影响。最后，WP4通过考察其他的德国当地背景，进一步将案例研究背景化。通过这种整体的广泛视角的应用，该项目有望为德国伊斯兰教的社会政治辩论提供新的见解，这也可能与市政政治的实践有关。该项目将自己定位在一个动态的、多学科的讨论中，讨论宗教对城市、后世俗社会和社区政治身份的（新）意义，到目前为止，这一直是一个以英语为主导的辩论。在德国的科学背景下，它丰富了社会地理学和城市地理学领域，以及移民地理学和宗教地理学以及各自的邻近学科领域。
