Supermassive Black Holes (SMBH) are sitting in the center of galaxies like our own Milky Way and in the majority (maybe all?) of other large galaxies. These SMBHs have masses up to billions of solar masses, but the way they achieved such tremendous growth lies still in the dark. One possible theory lies in the merging and mass accretion of so-called intermediate mass black holes (IMBH) in the early universe. Following recent studies we would expect to find remaining IMBHs in the center of dwarf galaxies. My master thesis, which I will discuss in this talk, focuses on the of X-Ray emission from compact dwarf galaxies to search for and analyse their emission to find suitable Active Galaxy Nuclei (AGNs) in their center.
