The EUROBALL Cluster detector is composed of seven encapsulated Ge detectors in a common cryostat with a total volume of 2000 ccm of HP Gemanium. The development and the performance of the Cluster detector is summarized. Up to six Cluster detectors were used in pre-EUROBALL experiments at the S-DALINAC Darmstadt, at the tandem-postaccelerator facility of the MPI-K Heidelberg and at the UNILAC at GSI. Examples of these experiments - the excitation of dipole modes with (γ, γ′)-reactions and the first coincidence spectroscopy of the N=Z-nucleus 68Se with a CLUSTER Cube - are discussed. The development of segmented encapsulated Ge detectors for a MINIBALL at the radioactive beam facility REX-ISOLDE has been launched. The status of the project is presented.
