Seminal ideas about neutrino astronomy date half a century. The considerable technological problems for building neutrino detectors with the relevant telescope area have only now been solved and neutrino astronomy has become a reality: * With several thousand neutrinos of TeV-PeV energy collected the South Pole AMANDA telescope has reached a flux sensitivity that matches that of air Cherenkov experiments in the corresponding energy range. We will discuss its first results as well as the kilometer-scale neutrino observatory IceCube now under construction. * After pioneering observations in Lake Baikal two detectors are under construction in the Mediterranean with plans of a follow-up kilometer-scale telescope NEMO. * Several new efforts specialize on detecting neutrinos of EeV energy and above using acoustic and radio pulses as well as air showers as neutrino signatures. We will review this extensive deployment of new experiments in the context of the multidisciplinary science addressed from the sources of the cosmic rays and the nature of dark matter to the number of dimensions of spacetime.
