Long-slit coude spectroscopy of high spectral and high spatial resolution of the planetary nebula Hb 12 has been carried out. The forbidden N II emission-line features detected reveal a compact (0.9-arcsec) central region expanding at about 16 km/s and a fainter, extended (10-arcsec) bipolar formation presenting mass outflow into two wide lobes. In the lobes the N II emission is confined to a thin surface layer. Weak H-alpha emission detected up to 13 arcsec from the center indicates the presence of a halo that can be identified with a circumstellar envelope produced by the red giant progenitor of Hb 12. The deduced mass and kinematic age of Hb 12 confirm that the planetary nebula is very young.
