The past, current and planned future developments of X-ray imagers in the Photon-Science Detector Group at DESY-Hamburg is presented. the X-ray imagers are custom developed and tailored to the different X-ray sources in Hamburg, including the storage ring PETRA III/IV; the VUV-soft X-ray free electron laser FLASH, and the European Free-Electron Laser. Each source puts different requirements on the X-ray detectors, which is described in detail, together with the technical solutions implemented.
