A new facility for the production of polarised bremsstrahlung has been built at the superconducting electron accelerator ELBE of the Forschungszentrum Rossendorf. The bremsstrahlung facility and the setup for photon-scattering experiments are designed such that the background radiation caused by the scattering of photons and the production of neutrons is minimised. The sensitive setup in connection with electron energies up to 20 MeV and average currents up to 1 mA delivered by the ELBE accelerator enables novel experiments using photon-induced reactions. First results of photon-scattering experiments are presented.
