For the ELBE electron linear accelerator a superconducting accerating module was developed and is now in routine operation. The cryostat contains two TESLA cavities (1.3 GHz) and is designed for cw operation with an accelerating gradient of 10 MV/m and a maximum average beam current of 1 mA. For the power RF two 10 kW klystrons are used. Special tuners, power couplers, low level rf control, cryogenic control systems and safety systems were developed. We will discuss engineering design, operation parameters and our experience with the module.
