Abstract
Starting with the first observation of superconductivity in an oxide, the history of its development is traced. Basically, and consecutively, three kinds of oxide superconductors have been found: Compounds with normal transition-metal conduction bands, oxides with cations exhibiting charge disproportionation, and finally the cuprates with large coulomb on-site repulsion, U. This discussion will lead over to a characterization of the highest-T c materials, both concerning their physical properties and application perspectives.
