The European XFEL is a 4th generation synchrotron radiation source, currently under construction in Hamburg. Based on different Free-Electron-Laser and spontaneous sources, driven by a 17.5 GeV superconducting accelerator, it will be able to provide several user stations with photons simultaneously. Due to the superconducting technology high average as well as peak brilliance can be produced. Flexible bunch pattern will allow for optimum tuning to the experiments demands. This paper will present the current planning of the electron beam diagnostics. An overview of the entire system will be given, as well as detailed insight into the main diagnostic systems, like BPM, charge and transmission diagnostics, beam size and beam loss monitor systems.
