Abstract
Since the beginning of the new millennium a hard competition is worldwide under way for the synthesis of new elements with extremely large charge numbers. Atomic weight 300 seems within reach.
Today Russia and Japan are ahead after Germany was leading in this field for several decades. In this lecture it is discussed, why these elements exist, how they are predicted, how they are produced in the laboratory and why they fascinate the scientists.
