History and profile

Fikrun wa Fann was established in 1963.[1][2] The founders were historian Albert Theile and Orientalist scholar Annemarie Schimmel.[3][4] The magazine is owned and published by Goethe Institute.[1] During the initial period the magazine was printed near Hamburg.[2] The magazine was originally started in Arabic and German, but later expanded to include the editions in Persian and English languages.[2] It is published twice a year.[1]

Fikrun wa Fann features articles about the cultural interactions between German society and Islamic societies.[2] The goal is to contribute to the dialogue between these cultures.[5] In addition, it covers articles concerning the art, culture and socio-political issues related to German and Islamic societies.[1]
