Abstract
Cosmological measurements indicate that a large component of non-visible gravitating matter is present in the universe. A common hypothesis for its origin is a weakly interacting, massive particle. Annihilations or decays of such particles could produce gamma rays. The H.E.S.S. experiment is an imaging air Cherenkov telescope array located in Namibia which may detect very high energy gamma-rays between 300 GeV and 10 TeV. This talk will present an overview of two recent H.E.S.S. searches for dark matter in the very high energy region, one targeting dwarf galaxies, the other one a cored dark matter profile at the galactic center.
