Heidari PhD Student in German Language Abstract Adam Olearius1 is one of the famous German travel writers who, despite nearly four hundred years having passed since the publication of his travelogue about Iran and Russia, his work is still of interest in German literary circles and is chosen as a research topic in German universities.
In this article, while referring to the journey of the German delegation to the court of Shah Safi in 1653, the role of Adam Olearius as a secretary and advisor to the ambassadors and the author of the travelogue of Iran and Moscow is addressed.
While praising Olearius, Goethe considers his travelogue a fruitful work that, for the first time, brought comprehensive descriptions of the country of Iran to the German people.
(Olearius, 1689:81) Friedrich III6 (1659-1695), the ruler of the state of Holstein, Germany, in order to escape the debts of the court and expand trade with Russia and Iran, with the support and cooperation of Otto Brugeman7, a Hamburg merchant, set out to send a delegation to these countries.
In his notes, Olearius refers to the incident of one of the members of the delegation receiving a gift from the Dutch, which led to his arrest by Bruggeman's order, his being chained, and the creation of tension in the relations between the German ambassador and the Shah.
Olearius attributes the reason for these individuals seeking refuge to their fear for their lives on the return trip from the Gilan region and writes: Shah Safi ordered the Iranian host, who was supposed to accompany the delegation to the last border point of Iran, to escort the delegation via the Gilan route.
