Metallic magnetic calorimeters (MMCs) are energy dispersive particle detectors which provide an excelent energy resolution over a large energy range combined with a very good linearity. MMCs are operated at millikelvin temperatures and convert the energy of an incoming X-ray photon into a temperature pulse which is measured by a paramagnetic temperature sensor. The resulting change of sensor magnetization is read out by a highly sensitive SQUID magnetometer. We developed several two-dimensional detector arrays optimized for X-ray energies up to 20, 30, 100 and 200 keV respectivly. The micro-fabricated detectors are operated in a mobile dilution refrigerator. We discuss the performance of our detectors including a record breaking energy resolution of 9.8 eV @ 60 keV. With their performance MMCs have been used in various applications, including the measurement of the ²²⁹Th isomer energy and are an ideal tool for upcoming precision QED tests at CRYRING@GSI/FAIR.
