In full operation the novel facility will produce at MHz repetition rate coherent femtosecond pulses with unprecedented brilliance in the energy range from 250 eV to 25 keV. The facility comprises of a linear accelerator and three photon beamlines: SASE1, that operates in the hard X-ray regime, is already in user operation mode, SASE2 saw first light in May and will be commissioned during this year and SASE3, that covers the soft X-ray range up to 3 keV, is under com-missioning right now and will start user operation late in 2018. The presentation will cover the current status, timeline and engineering challenges of the three photon beamlines and the six scientific instruments of the facility as well as possible future upgrades.
