The first and second telescopes of the H·E·S·S· stereoscopic system are operating since June 2002 and February 2003, respectively. We will present the first results from a number of southern AGN observed using the first two H·E·S·S· telescopes, which already yield a significant sensitivity in mono-telescope mode, with a threshold for detection below that of other Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. In this paper we report in particular on the first detection of an AGN by H·E·S·S·: the BL Lac object PKS 2155-304 was seen during July and October 2002 at a total significance level of 11.9 standard deviations (s.d.).
