  The Electron Stretcher Facility ELSA provides a beam of polarized electrons with a maximum energy of 3.2 GeV for hadron physics experiments. The in-house developed control system has continuously been improved during the last 15 years of operation. Its top layer consists of a distributed shared memory database and several core applications which are running on a linux host. The interconnectivity to hardware devices is built up with a second layer of the control system operating on PCs and VMEs. High level applications are integrated into the control system using C and C++ libraries. An event based messaging system notifies attached applications about parameter updates in near real-time. The overall system structure and specific implementation details of the control system will be presented.
