ABSTRACT
The experimental setup consist a heating unit and an infrared camera. The appropriate computer system for real-time recording of the thermograms is not shown. For measuring the cooling process, VarioCAM hr inspect 680/30 mm’ (InfraTecGmbH) IR-camera was used and has an uncooled Focal Plane Array. The camera’s distance to the console was set at 2,10 m. With a frequency of 60 Hz, the thermal imaging data is transferred to and stored on a computer. Subsequent to the recording of the cooling process, the thermography sequences can be evaluated via appropriate software. For conducting the measurements, consoles were manually

1.1 History
The Berlin Mosque is the oldest surviving Mosque in Germany. The building was built from 1924 to 1928 by architect Karl Alfred Herrmann and was opened early during its construction in 1925. In the second World War the minarets were destroyed by artillery fire. The dome of the mosque was hit and the adjoining building was badly damaged. The outside facade of the mosque was hardly affected. Already in 1952 the mosque was provisionally repaired for worship. In 1976 the mosque was equipped with floor heating and the outside facade was painted with plastic dispersion paint. Apart from 1996, the adjoining building was renovated and the minarets were rebuilt between 1999 and 2001. Between 2004 and 2005 the dome was renewed.
