Abstract: Early on oxides were ruled out from superconductivity, since these are typically large band gap insulators. Nevertheless a rather small number of them were found to be superconducting with transition temperatures up to 14 K and a remarkable low carrier density. This was the starting point of K. Alex Müller (KAM) to get interested in superconductivity in oxides. Step by step he advanced in the research in oxides and finally discovered together with J. Georg Bednorz high-temperature superconductivity (HTSC) in the perovskite type compound Ba-La-Cu-O. Even though inspired from specific and clear ideas in his search, he added new impact in the understanding of HTSC for many years after receipt of the Nobel prize for this discovery.
