Quasifree states of a linear Klein-Gordon quantum field on globally hyperbolic spacetime manifolds are considered. After a short mathematical review techniques from the theory of pseudodifferential operators and wavefront sets on manifolds are used to develop a criterion for a state to be an Hadamard state. It is proven that ground- and KMS-states on certain static spacetimes and adiabatic vacuum states on Robertson-Walker spaces are Hadamard states. A counterexample is given which shows that the idea of instantaneous positive energy states w.r.t. a Cauchy surface does in general not yield physical states. Finally, the problem of constructing Hadamard states on arbitrary curved spacetimes is solved in principle.
