Kaveh ( Persian کاوہ, DMG Kāwe ) was a Persian-language magazine financed by the German government, which appeared twice a month from 1916 to 1922 in Berlin . It is considered to be one of the best Persian-language exile magazines ever published. The magazine was edited by Seyyed Hassan Taqizadeh , Mohammad Ali Jamalzade and Mohammad Ghazvini . The title of the magazine is reminiscent of Kaveh the blacksmith ( Persian كاوه آهنگر, DMG Kāwe Āhangar , also Kaveh Ahangar ), a figure from Iranian mythology who symbolizes the fight against tyranny and oppression by foreign invaders. The blacksmith Kaveh is also shown on the title page. As the leader of a demonstration, he holds the Iranian banner Derafsch-e Kâviâni ( Persian درفش كاويانى, DMG derafš-e kāwiyānī , "Kaveh's flag") in hand.

The Kaveh editorial staff called the newspaper an "organ of the Persian nationalists". The aim of the publication was

“… To spread the belief among our compatriots in Persia and abroad that the time has now come when Persia can regain its independence, and the time when the English and Russian invaders can be driven out of the country. ... Our newspaper stands up for a new great uprising, which is supposed to drive today's foreign servants of Persia out of the country. "

In the course of the Anglo-Russian invasion of Iran during the First World War , an anti-British and anti-Russian mood arose in Iran. With the magazine Kaveh , the German government wanted to support a nationally minded Iranian movement. Hassan Taqizadeh, who was involved in Iran's constitutional revolution and later a member of the newly created Iranian parliament, took the view in his articles that the Iranians had to reorient themselves from the ground up with the help of Western values ​​in order to get out of the dependence of a British or Liberate Russian Colonialism. This is the only way to create an independent Iranian state.

Mohammad Ali Jamalzades Farsi Shekar Ast and Ganj Shaygan also appeared as supplements to Kaveh . Mohammad Ali Jamalzade was one of the most famous Persian writers and short story tellers.

After the end of the First World War , Kaveh was no longer financed by the German government, so that the newspaper had to cease publication in 1922.

After Kaveh had ceased its publication, Hosein Kazemzadeh founded the magazine Iranshahr (a name for Iran at the time of the Sassanids ) as the successor to Kaveh in Berlin . The magazine had a great influence in Iran on the development of an Iranian national feeling.
