AB  - Density functional theory and its application for the simulation of magnetic properties of condensed matter is introduced. This includes vector-spin density functional theory for the evaluation of spin-spin interactions and relativistic extensions to capture effects like the magnetocrystalline anisotropy. The role of the different approximations to the exchange-correlation functional, e.g., the local density approximation, or the generalized gradient approximation, is investigated, showing successes and limitations of the present functionals. Special techniques to determine, e.g., the magnetic ground state or finite temperature properties based on density functional theory are shortly discussed.
