The discovery of the first TeV gamma source in 1989, the Crab nebula, marked the start of a new field in high energy Astroparticle Physics. Presently we see a rapid evolution and intense detector developments in this new field. Up to now 15 sources have been firmly established as well at first contributions to fundamental physics questions in our universe have been made. The status and perspectives in the next few years after the start of the new generation high sensitivity instruments will be reviewed.
