Already during its first year of full operation H.E.S.S. has discovered a large number of VHE gamma-ray sources. Most of these sources are of galactic origin and the investigation of these objects might help to solve the long standing puzzle of the origin of the galactic cosmic rays. For the first time the morphology of shell-type supernova remnants has been resolved at these energies and spectroscopic studies have been performed on objects like RX J1713.7-3946 and RX J0852.0-4622 . Also for the first time extended TeV emission from a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) has been detected. By scanning the inner part of the galactic plane an unbiased sample of eight new VHE gamma-rays sources has been discovered. Finally precision measurements on the emission from the galactic center are on their way.
