Die Furche was founded in 1945 as a politico-cultural weekly aimed at helping renew the country's intellectual resources. It deals with current issues in the areas of politics, society, culture and religion. Die Furche describes itself as a Christian-oriented quality paper but does not see itself as a mouthpiece of the Catholic Church. It belongs to the Styria Media Group, which has close ties to the Catholic Church.
