Anatolian Alevism, with about 1.5 to 2 million members, is undergoing a profound transformation from an "invisible secret religion" to an institutionalised religion in its new home in Europe. It is surely no coincidence that the various levels of "interreligious dialogue" in the city of Hamburg play an essential role in this process. Despite the many challenges faced by the former guest workers from Anatolia, they constantly strive to promote interreligious dialogue in Hamburg.
The anthology Religious Diversity and Interreligious Dialogue by Anna Körs, Wolfram Weisse and Jean-Paul Willaime (2020) devotes special attention to interreligious dialogue and relations as specific means of dealing with plurality in Europe. It shows how religious pluralisation has an impact on social areas such as theology, politics, civil society, education and communication / media. The chapter by Handan Aksünger-Kizil focuses on the different levels of interreligious dialogue and the challenges from an Alevi perspective in Hamburg (Germany).
