  The $\overline{\mbox{P}}$ANDA experiment together with the high quality
antiproton beam at HESR will be a powerful tool to address fundamental
questions of hadron physics in the charm and multi-strange hadron sector. In
connection with the recent data in the hidden charm sector,
$\overline{\mbox{P}}$ANDA will be able to deliver decisive contributions to
this field, due to the complementarity of the $\overline{p} p$ entrance channel
and the capabilities of the combined storage ring and detector system under
construction.
