It is a 7-channel imager developed by the Max-Planck-Institut for extraterrestrial Physics in Garching, Germany, with contributions from the Thueringer Landessternwarte Tautenburg, Germany. GROND is mounted at the 2.2m telescope on La Silla since mid 2007. A short overview is given about the instrument, its operation, and its scientific achievements.
