Abstract
The giant radio galaxy M 87 is located 16.7 Mpc away and harbours a supermassive black hole in its center. Structures of its relativistic plasma jet are resolved at radio, optical and X–ray energies. M 87 belongs to the class of active galactic nuclei and is one of only a few radio galaxies detected at very-high energies (E > 100 GeV ). This makes it a unique laboratory to study jet physics and the corresponding emission processes. The results obtained from TeV gamma-ray observations during the last decade are discussed.
