Kaveh (magazine)

The Persian-speaking exile periodical Kaveh was founded in 1916 by the Intelligence Agency for the Orient (Nachrichtenstelle für den Orient – NfdO) of the Federal Foreign Office in Berlin. It was published twice a month between 1916 and 1922 by Seyyed Hasan Taghizade (1878–1970), who also wrote articles for the journal Ayandeh from 1925 - 1928 , and Seyyed Mohammad Ali Jamalzade (1892–1997). The title refers to an Iranian mythical hero: Kaveh, a smith from Isfahan.

The process of publication is divided into an old issue, a new issue and the final special issue. The old issue (1916–1919) consists of four year’s issues with 35 numbers, six of them a double number. It was mainly an instrument of propaganda for the German Reich’s policy towards the East. After the end of the war and the dissolution of the NfdO, the German Orient Institute (DOI) and the Federal Foreign Office decided on continuing the financing of the periodical. The new issue (1920–1922) is divided into 25 numbers with a double number, although the first year’s issue was – in continuation of the old issue – incorrectly labeled as year’s issue five instead of year’s issue one. As to content, it predominantly addressed literary and scientific topics. By 1922, Kaveh was not funded anymore and thus discontinued.
