The Calar Alto Deep Imaging Survey (CADIS) employs a combination of deep exposures in three broad bands (B,R,K) and up to 13 medium bands (R = λ/Δλ= 25... 50) with spectroscopic scans through an imaging Fabry-Pérot-Interferometer (R≃ 450). The survey will cover 10 fields of > 100□′,i.e.a total area of 0.3 □°. Although primarily designed to detect faint emission line galaxies at various intermediate (z= 0.2 ...1.4) and very high redshifts (z= 4.7, 5.7, 6.5) its multi-color strategy will also allow the detection and classification of hundreds of early type galaxies, faint QSOs, and extremely faint stars in our Galaxy. This contribution outlines the survey concept and its principal goals and then focuses on the expectations and first results of the search for “primeval” Ly-α emitting galaxies atz≳ 5. More details about the data analysis and first results on faint field galaxies at intermediate redshift are presented in the contributions by Fockenbrocket al.and Thommeset al.to these proceedings.
