I will discuss low-dimensional condensed matter systems, in which topological properties could be engineered per demand. Majorana fermions can emerge in hybrid systems with proximity pairing in which the usually weak Rashba spin-orbit interaction is replaced by magnetic textures. I will discuss candidate materials such as semiconducting nanowires [1] and atomic magnetic chains [2]. One further goal is to go beyond Majorana fermions and to identify systems that can host quasiparticles with more powerful non-Abelian statistics such as parafermions in double wires coupled by crossed Andreev reflections [3,4]. Next, I will focus on ``strip of stripes model'' consisting of weakly coupled one-dimensional wires [5-7], where interaction effects in the wires can be treated non-perturbatively via bosonization. Such systems can exhibit the integer or fractional quantum Hall effect, spin Hall effect, and anomalous Hall effect. \\ \\ {[1]} J. Klinovaja and D. Loss, Phys. Rev. B 86, 085408 (2012). \\ {[2]} J.
