Abstract
The history of neutrinos is strongly coupled with the understanding of weak interactions, which in turn rules energy production in stars. Thus there is a important interplay of nuclear-, particle and astrophysics to explain stellar energy production and to disentangle neutrino properties. In addition to terrestrial searches for neutrino masses the article focuses on the discovery and solution of solar neutrinos, a mystery for decades in the field of particle astrophysics. Furthermore, the first detection of supernova neutrinos is described. A discussion of open issues and an outlook into future activities is given.
