The spectral energy distribution of high-frequency peaked BL Lac objects (HBL) can be explained by synchrotron emission which peaks in the UV - X-ray regime and inverse Compton emission from a population of relativistic electrons which upscatter their own synchrotron photons into the Gev - TeV regime. Simultaneous multi-wavelength observations are crucial for constraining the parameters of these SSC models. A full and simultaneous coverage of the synchrotron and inverse Compton peak region by observations in the optical, UV, X-ray and GeV, TeV gamma-ray regime, respectively, is important to determine the particle distribution function and macroscopic parameters in the jets of active galactic nuclei. We present and discuss the results of several simultaneous multi-wavelength campaigns on high-frequency peaked BL Lac objects using observations by the Cherenkov telescope array HESS and other facilities covering the optical, UV, X-ray and gamma-ray bands.
