Scientific paper

The HEGRA system of imaging air Cherenkov telescopes has successfully pioneered the stereoscopic observation technique of extensive air showers. The observational method is briefly described and important results of recent observations of sources of photons with TeV($=10^{12}$ eV)-energies are summarized: The first detection of a TeV $\gamma$-ray signal from the shell-type supernova remnant Cassiopeia A and preliminary results obtained from the observation of strong variability of the extragalactic source Mkn 421 during observations carried out from February to May 2000.
