Let (X,\({\mathcal H})\) be a Brelot harmonic space endowed with a metric d such that the uniform Harnack inequality holds. For NTA-domains, which were introduced by \textit{P. W. Jones} [Acta Math. 147, 71-88 (1981; Zbl 0489.30017)] we show, roughly speaking, that the Martin boundary is homeomorphic to the topological boundary. In the special case of Laplace equation and Lipschitz domains these problems were studied by \textit{R. A. Hunt} and \textit{R. L. Wheeden} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 147, 507-527 (1970; Zbl 0193.396)]. - Since all the usual types of elliptic second order equations fit into our abstract frame many recent results of the same type for elliptic p.d.e.'s are contained in our main theorem as well. Contrary to previous papers, we do no more utilize estimates for Green functions which were basic in the above special cases.
