In the past few years the quasi-cw SRF electron accelerator ELBE has been upgraded so that it now allows compression of electron bunches to the sub-picosecond regime. The actual optimization and control of the electron bunch form represents one of the largest challenges of the coming years, in particular with respect to the midterm goal to utilize the ultra-short electron bunches for Laser-Thomson scattering experiments or high field THz experiments. Current developments of THz based longitudinal electron bunch diagnostic are discussed and an outlook into future developments is given.
