The author gives a necessary and sufficient condition for a given set of positive real numbers to be the dihedral angles of a hyperbolic \(n\)-simplex. This answers a question raised by \textit{W. Fenchel} in his book `Elementary geometry in hyperbolic space', W. de Gruyter, Berlin-New York (1989; Zbl 0674.51001). The author also presents a simple proof of the known necessary and sufficient condition for the dihedral angles of Euclidean \(n\)-simplexes.
