The aim of this paper is to summarize briefly the problems arising within the General Theory of Relativity once singularities are considered. The difficulties of providing a general definition of singularities are reviewed, the famous Singularity Theorem of Hawking and Penrose as well as a generalization of this are stated and comments on some of the still unsolved problems are given. The basic concepts needed to formulate and understand the afore mentioned theorems are illustrated, along with sketches of proofs when it is considered a deeper insight into the matter is necessary. Alternatively references are provided in order for the reader to pursue a matter in greater detail. The selection of material has been done in accordance with the activities of researchers at the TU Berlin under the guidance of the second author. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0942.00032].
