Starting with the example of the quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator, we develop the concept of euclidean lattice field theory. After describing Wilson's formulation of quantum chromodynamics on the lattice, we will introduce modern lattice QCD actions which greatly reduce lattice artefacts or are even chiral invariant. The substantial algorithmic improvements of the last couple of years will be shown which led to a real breakthrough for dynamical Wilson fermion simulations. Finally, we will present some results of present simulations with dynamical quarks and demonstrate that nowadays even at small values of the quark mass high precision simulation results for physical quantities can be obtained.
