The role of Supernova Remnants (SNRs) for the production of the Galactic Cosmic Rays is reviewed from the point of view of theory and very high energy gamma-ray experiments. The point is made that theory can describe young SNRs very well, if the evidence from the synchrotron emission is used to empirically determine several parameters of the theory, and thus theory can predict the relative contributions of hadronic and leptonic gamma rays at TeV energies. This is exemplified for several objects that have been observed intensively during the last years. Future key observations are discussed.
