The DGFK (German Society for Promotion of Culture) was officially registered in 1973 at the district court Berlin-Charlottenburg.
The main activities of the society in the beginning revolved around promotion of culture in its widest sense. About 133 projects were initiated or supported which included projects of art exhibitions, lectures as well as concerts, film projects and festivals.
A number of publications were published and events initiated and organized in Berlin, Germany and other European and Non-European countries.
Since 1990 however, most of the activities of the society are concentrated in the Non-European regions.
