  We discuss the new class of static axially symmetric black hole solutions
obtained recently in Einstein-Yang-Mills and Einstein-Yang-Mills-dilaton
theory. These black hole solutions are asymptotically flat and they possess a
regular event horizon. The event horizon is almost spherically symmetric with a
slight elongation along the symmetry axis. The energy density of the matter
fields is angle-dependent at the horizon. The static axially symmetric black
hole solutions satisfy a simple relation between mass, dilaton charge, entropy
and temperature. The black hole solutions are characterized by two integers,
the winding number $n$ and the node number $k$ of the purely magnetic gauge
field. With increasing node number the magnetically neutral black hole
solutions form sequences tending to limiting solutions with magnetic charge
$n$, corresponding to Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton black hole solutions for finite
dilaton coupling constant and to Reissner-Nordstr\o m black hole solutions for
vanishing dilaton coupling constant.
