This thesis aims at presenting in an organized fashion the required basics to understand the Glauber dynamics as a way of simulating configurations according to the Gibbs distribution of the Curie-Weiss Potts model. Therefore, essential aspects of discrete-time Markov chains on a finite state space are examined, especially their convergence behavior and related mixing times. Furthermore, special emphasis is placed on a consistent and comprehensive presentation of the Curie-Weiss Potts model and its analysis. Finally, the Glauber dynamics is studied in general and applied afterwards in an exemplary way to the Curie-Weiss model as well as the Curie-Weiss Potts model. The associated considerations are supplemented with two computer simulations aiming to show the cutoff phenomenon and the temperature dependence of the convergence behavior.
