I will review the science case for dark matter, presenting the evidence from cosmology and astrophysics. As will thus become clear, dark matter
has already been discovered - we just don't know yet what it is made of. The so-called direct detection of dark matter is a very promising
approach to tackle this question. I will present the status of this field, including the recently announced results from XENON1T.
