Abstract: An introduction to loop quantum gravity is given, focussing on the fundamental aspects of the theory, different approaches to the dynamics, as well as possible future directions. It is structured in five lectures, including exercises, and requires only little prior knowledge of quantum mechanics, gauge theory, and general relativity. The main aim of these lectures is to provide non-experts with an elementary understanding of loop quantum gravity and to evaluate the state of the art of the field. Technical details are avoided wherever possible.
