The European X-ray Free Electron Laser XFEL is a 4th generation synchrotron radiation facility based on the SASE FEL concept and the superconducting TESLA technology for the linear accelerator. This multi-user facility will provide photon beams in a wavelength regime from 0.1nm to 5nm in three FEL beam lines and hard X-rays in two spontaneous radiation beam lines, serving in total 10 experimental stations in the first stage. The project is in an advanced planning and technical preparation stage and its construction as a European/International facility near DESY in Hamburg will start in 2007. This talk gives an overview of the overall layout and parameters of the facility, with emphasis on the accelerator design, technology and physics.
