Abstract

In these lecture notes an introduction is given to some ideas and attempts to understand the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe. After the discussion of some basic issues of cosmology and particle theory the scenarios of electroweak baryogenesis, GUT baryogenesis, and leptogenesis are outlined.
