Fikrun wa Fann was established in 1963. The founders were historian Albert Theile and Orientalist scholar Annemarie Schimmel. The magazine is owned and published by Goethe Institute. During the initial period the magazine was printed near Hamburg. The magazine was originally started in Arabic and German, but later expanded to include the editions in Persian and English languages. It is published twice a year.
Fikrun wa Fann features articles about the cultural interactions between German society and Islamic societies. The goal is to contribute to the dialogue between these cultures.
