Description
This talk presents the legacy of the four LEP experiments ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL
in the field of the search for Higgs bosons which are predicted within the framework
of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). It will focus on the search for
neutral Higgs bosons. The data of the four collaborations are statistically combined
and show no signicant excess of events which would indicate the production of Higgs
bosons. Hence, limits on model-independent quantitities and on model parameters are
derived. For the CP-Conserving MSSM models, stringent limits in the parameter space
can be set. For CP-Violating scenarios, regions in the MSSM parameter space with
light Higgs boson masses (<50 GeV) exist, for which there is only weak or no
exclusion. For these scenarios, prospects for the LHC and the ILC will be shown.
