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.

该项目基于这样的观察，即穆斯林和伊斯兰教的身份越来越多地谈判，并在德国的地方和文化层面上成为重要的类别，因此受到影响和塑造的影响，即以特定的地方和城市环境中的新方式进行影响。这是地方一级，伊斯兰教变得最明显，也是地方政策和行政管理问题，其中一部分人口被称为穆斯林，其中穆斯林与非穆斯林之间的关系是在互动中配置的。该项目正在解决研究差距，因为到目前为止的科学辩论倾向于将要么集中在国家一级，如果处理与伊斯兰相关的代表和政策，或者仅针对个人身份建设过程。根据两个详细的案例研究，Erlangen和Osnabrück，以及在四个紧密互锁的工作包（WPS）的过程中，该项目将分析穆斯林和伊斯兰教的两种本地配置，并将当地的观点整合在广泛的德国环境中。起初，WP1染上了上局部话语的中心时刻，以及关于德国穆斯林和伊斯兰教的决定，构成了案例研究。同时，它询问是否以及向穆斯林和伊斯兰教扩大的范围正在成为德国主要城市中市政政治和行政做法的对象。 WP2从1970年到今天分析了Erlangen和Osnabrück的特定当地发展路径，并询问穆斯林和伊斯兰教在何时何地，何处和以什么方式可见或在当地一级可见。 WP3具有更多的民族志观点，并将检查穆斯林和伊斯兰教每天的当前实践和地点。它探讨了成为穆斯林主题（以及重塑这种身份）的过程如何与当地环境有关，例如到当地有组织的伊斯兰或当地的社区政治。在这里，新的伊斯兰神学机构最近才在两种情况下建立了新的伊斯兰神学机构，因此WP3也要求在地方一级对伊斯兰教的学术制度化的条件和影响。 WP4最终通过检查其他＃德国本地环境，进一步将案例研究进一步化。通过采用这一整体观点，该项目有望为德国关于伊斯兰的社会政治辩论提供新的见解，这也可能与文化政治实践有关。该项目将自己定位在动态和多学科的讨论中，该讨论涉及宗教的（新）含义，即在迄今为止迄今为止以英语为主的辩论，这是城市，iClas后社会和身份认同的社区政治的安排。因此，在德国的科学背景下，它丰富了社会和城市地理领域，以及移民和宗教和相对邻近学科的地理领域。
