Bibi-Khanum Mosque
In 1399, after his campaign in India, Timur Lenk ordered the construction of a large mosque in Samarkand. The name of Bibi-Khanum comes from the name of Timur's favored wife.
The Bibi-Khanum Mosque is the largest mosque in Samarkand and one of the largest in Uzbekistan. It is designed in iwan type, specific to Iranian architecture. The court measures approximately 167 meters in length and 109 meters in width. The dome is painted with the Qur'an calligraphy and blue and brown shades, 40 feet tall. The main portal at the entrance of the mosque is 35 meters tall, being considered the largest in Central Asia. The four minarets are in the four corners of the courtyard.

Amir Timur shaped the cityscape of Samarkand like no other, so it is not surprising that he had the Bibi-Khanym Mosque built. With the order for the construction of the mosque in 1399, Timur wanted to award a sign of his power in Samarkand. During the following years, Timur was mostly away on campaigns. Probably his main wife Sara-Molk Khanym supervised the construction works during his absence. At the same time, she had a madrasah built opposite the mosque, of which only a dome has survived today. This is called the mausoleum of the Bibi-Khanym.
The name Bibi is an expression for an adorable woman in the Persian language. In this case for an elderly woman, who Sara-Molk Khanym was at that time already. The legend made a young woman in love out of it, who made the mosque a gift to her husband.
From the forecourt of the mosque one also has a good view of the Hazrat Khizr Mosque, with the President's Tomb in front. Hazrat Khizr was a down-to-earth Muslim prophet.
When Timur saw the mosque for the first time in 1404 shortly before its completion, he was disappointed by it and had many changes made. These changes affected the statics of the building. In spite of the numerous improvements made to the statics, the first bricks fell out of the dome after only a few years.
In the course of the centuries, the mosque dilapidated more and more. The population used it as a storage for building material.
Beginning of the 20th century, the Russians started with first securing measures. But the Uzbek government had restored the building only at the end of the century.
Today, Bibi-Khanym Mosque almost shines again in its old splendor. It impresses by the skills of the architects and craftsmen, as well as by its incredible dimensions. Both the entrance gate and the domed structure of the mosque are over 40 m high.
An old picture inside the mosque shows the ruins in their deplorable state before the restoration.

Timur Lenk prägte das Stadtbild von Samarkand wie kein zweiter, also ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass er die Bibi-Chanum-Moschee erbauen ließ. Mit dem Befehl zum Bau der Moschee im Jahre 1399, wollte Timur damit in Samarkand ein Zeichen seiner Macht Ausdruck verleihen.
Während der Folgejahre war Timur meist auf Feldzügen unterwegs. Vermutlich hatte seine Hauptfrau Sara-Molk Chanum während seiner Abwesenheit die Bauaufsicht. Sie ließ gegenüber der Moschee zur gleichen Zeit eine Madrasa erbauen, von der heute nur ein Kuppelbau erhalten ist. Dieser wird als das Mausoleum der Bibi Chanum bezeichnet. Die Bezeichnung Bibi steht im Persischen eher als Bezeichnung für eine verehrungswürdige Frau, also eher für eine bereits ältere Frau, die Sara-Molk Chanum zu dem Zeitpunkt bereits war. Die Legende machte daraus eine junge verliebte Frau, die Ihrem Mann die Moschee zum Geschenk machte.
Vom Vorplatz der Mosche hat man auch einen guten Blick auf die Hazrat Khizr Moschee, vor der sich das Grab des Präsidenten (President's Tomb) befindet. Hazrat Khizr war ein volksnaher moslemischer Heiliger.
Als Timur die Moschee 1404 kurz vor ihrer Fertigstellung das erste mal sah war er von ihr enttäuscht und ließ zahlreiche Veränderungen vornehmen. Diese Veränderungen beeinträchtigten die Statik des Bauwerks. Trotz reichlicher Nachbesserungen zugunsten der Statik fielen bereits nach wenigen Jahren erste Ziegel aus der Kuppel.
Im Laufe der Jahrhunderte verfiel die Moschee immer mehr und wurde als Depot für Baumaterial von der einheimischen Bevölkerung verwendet.
Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts begannen die Russen mit ersten Sicherungsmaßnahmen, aber erst Ende des Jahrhunderts ließ die Usbekische Regierung das Bauwerk umfänglich restaurieren.
Heute erstrahlt es fast wieder in altem Glanz und beeindruckt durch die Kunstfertigkeit der Architekten und Handwerker, aber auch durch ihre unglaublichen Dimensionen. Sowohl das Eingangstor als auch der Kuppelbau der Moschee sind über 40 m hoch.
In der Moschee ist ein altes Bild ausgestellt, das die Ruinen in ihrem erbärmlichen Zustand vor der Restaurierung zeigt.

Samarkand - Uzbekistan - UNESCO World Heritage Sitest
Samarkand is the second-largest city in Uzbekistan and the capital of Samarqand Province. The city is most noted for its central position on the Silk Road between China and the West, and for being an Islamic centre for scholarly study. In the 14th century it became the capital of the empire of Timur (Tamerlane) and is the site of his mausoleum (the Gur-e Amir). The Bibi-Khanym Mosque (a modern replica) remains one of the city's most notable landmarks. The Registan was the ancient center of the city.
In 2001, UNESCO added the city to its World Heritage List as Samarkand -- Crossroads of Cultures.
