This essay considers the very recent emergence of the category of ‘Muslim’ in German public discourse and through it examines current German self‐understandings. In contemporary Germany, the notion of a resident ‘Muslim’ minority has been primarily created by relabelling and recasting immigrants from Turkey, the country's largest minority. I argue that the rearticulation of longstanding storylines about abused women of Turkish background – increasingly presented as ‘Muslim’– serves as a key point of transfer in this shift from ethnonational to religious framings. Analysing exemplary media sources as well as the sociologist Necla Kelek's influential non‐fiction book Die fremde Braut (2005), I point to the crucial and multilayered work done by gender in this shift as well as its large‐scale implications for reimagining Germany and Europe
