Abstract
An overview of the history of gamma-ray astronomy is given starting with predictions in the 1950s and first detections in the 1960s. Tremendous efforts have been made since then, with exciting discoveries, which finally culminated in the “Golden Age” of gamma-ray astronomy which we are presently experiencing.
