Džamija Behrambegove medrese v Tuzli (avtor Zlatko Ugljen,
sodelavec Husein Dropić) je ena
od novejših arhitekturnih realizacij povojne gradnje v Bosni in Hercegovini.
Džamija in medresa z imenom Behrambegova džamija in Behrambegova medresa v Tuzli sta nastali v stoletjih turške oblasti v Bosni in Hercegovini. Lokacija današnje džamije z medreso
istega imena projektantov Zlatka Ugljena in Huseina Dropića je glede na prvotno spremenjena. Spremembe so se dogajale skozi stoletja.
V času socialistične Jugoslavije Behrambegova medresa ni delovala. Njeno delovanje je bilo obnovljeno v vojni med leti 1992-1995, prostore pa je imela v stavbi bivše rudarske šole. Z umestitvijo medrese v zgradbo, ki ji prvotno ni bila namenjena, se je razvila nuja po ureditvi objekta in okolice za zahteve pouka teološke šole.
Glede na to, da je v njegovem
okviru obvezna petkrat na dan tudi molitev, je bilo treba zgraditi džamijo.

The mosque of Behram-bey’s madrasah in Tuzla, designed by Zlatko Ugljen (assistant author Husein Dropi}), is one of the
new realisations of the post-war architecture of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The origins of Behram-bey’s mosque and Behram-bey’s madrasah date back centuries to the Ottoman rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The current location of the mosque and the madrasah differs from the original site;
their location has been shifting slowly, throughout the centuries.
Behram-bey’s madrasah, the theological school, was closed during socialist Yugoslavia. It reopened during the war,
1992-1995, in the former
mining school, a late Modernist building from the era of social realism. Soon, it became obvious that theological education could not be conducted in such an inappropriate building. Also,
the obligatory namaz or sallat (obligatory prayer) of pupils and teachers five times a day demanded a separate mosque.
