  In this report we present the status of the MAgnetized Disk and Mirror Axion
eXperiment (MADMAX), the first dielectric haloscope for the direct search of
dark matter axions in the mass range of 40 to 400 $\mu$eV. MADMAX will consist
of several parallel dielectric disks, which are placed in a strong magnetic
field and with adjustable separations. This setting is expected to allow for an
observable emission of axion induced electromagnetic waves at a frequency
between 10 and 100 GHz corresponding to the axion mass. The present document
orignated from a status report to the DESY PRC in 2019.
