B.1 is one of the experimental projects within the CRC16. It aims at the systematic investigation of the photoproduction of mesons off nucleons in order to understand reaction mechanisms and the relevant degrees of freedom in resonance formation. Of particular interest is the photoproduction of mesons heavier than the pion and resonances involving hidden or open strangeness. Essential hardware contributions have been made to the experimental programme of the CRC16 through tagging systems, and photon-beam polarisation and polarimetry. A new experiment has been set up within the framework of the BGO-OD collaboration. This combines a forward magnetic spectrometer with a central BGO calorimeter with charged particle recognition and identification. The BGO-OD experiment enables reconstruction of complex final states composed of both charged and neutral particles, complementary to the existing CBELSA/TAPS calorimeter which is optimised for multi-photon final states. Selected results of the 12-year CRC period are presented from both experiments.
