The year 2000 was the first year of commissioning for the HERA-B detector and for taking data in various trigger modes. Despite the obvious failure to be a competitive B-factory, HERA-B is a pioneering experiment and the most powerful and advanced multi-particle spectrometer for high rate environments. A variety of interesting achievements in detector technology could be made, which are of considerable impact on the development of experiments for LHC. The present status of the detector, a short summary of the year 2000 data and an outlook to the next future will be given.
