The magazine Fanal was published with the subtitle Anarchist Monatsschrift from 1926 to 1931 by Erich Mühsam as a successor to the magazine for humanity , Kain .

Fanal was almost exclusively stocked with Mühsam's own articles. Nevertheless it was listed as an organ of the Anarchist Association . In his magazine and on lecture tours, he expressed concern about the rise of the National Socialist German Workers' Party ( NSDAP ) and tried to achieve a kind of understanding between the proletarian revolutionary movements. Mühsams lodger, the young Herbert Wehner , worked for a time on the magazine.

Fanal was banned for a period of four months by the Berlin Police President Grzesinski in July 1931 because of “disdain for the Reich government” . At risk of death , the FAUD local groups Mannheim and Ludwigshafen produced four issues in 1934, one of them with an obituary for the murdered Mühsam.
