English Summary: Since the medieval building complex consisting of the Friday mosque and the psychiatric hospital was declared "World Cultural Heritage Site" in 1986 the small provincial town of Divrigi, hidden in the mountains of East Taurus, has become a popular destination for many tourists. While the peculiar architectural art of this historic building is rather considered an incomprehensible curiosity by most visitors, it became a personal object of research for the author as he was certain that there had to be an access to this powerful and apparently exotic imagery that was well worth being deciphered in order to gain a new and expanded view of Islamic mysticism. German Description: Seitdem der mittelalterliche Baukomplex aus Freitagsmoschee und psychiatrischem Spital im Jahr 1986 zum Weltkulturerbe erklart wurde, ist das in den Bergen des ostlichen Taurus versteckte Landstadtchen Divrigi zum Besuchsziel vieler Touristen geworden. Wahrend die merkwurdige Architekturplastik dieses Bauwerks fur die meisten Besucher eher ein unverstandliches Kuriosum darstellt, wurde sie fur den Autor zum personlichen Forschungsobjekt, weil er sich sicher war, dass es fur diese eindringliche, exotisch scheinende Bildersprache einen Zugang geben musse, dessen Entschlusselung einen neuen, erweiterten Blick auf die islamische Mystik ermoglichen wurde.
