The HEGRA (High Energy Gamma Ray Astronomy) experiment achieved outstanding results during the operation of the six Cherenkov telescopes (end of 1996 end of 2002), pioneering with 5 telescopes the stereoscopic observation mode. Concerning the Galactic sources these include the detection of Cassiop eia A, being the only shell type supernova remnant at TeV energies seen up to now in the northern sky and recently the observation of a yet unidentified TeV gamma-ray source TeV J2032+4130 in the Cygnus region. Also a scan of a large fraction of the Galactic plane has been achieved. Concerning the extragalactic sources most precise spectra at the highest energies have been obtained from the well studied blazars Mkn 501 and Mkn 421 as well as from H1426+428 and 1ES1959+650 established in the last two years only. Also extensive multi-wavelength campaigns have been successfully performed. Recently strong evidence for the nearby giant radio galaxy M87 being a TeV γ -ray source has been obtained. Some of the highlight results are addressed below.
