Abstract
The H1 detector started taking data at the electron-proton collider HE RA in the beginning of 1992. In HERA 30 GeV electrons collide with 820 GeV protons giving a strong boost of the centre-of-mass system in the direction of the proton, also called the forward region. For the dete ction of high momentum muons in this region a muon spectrometer has be en constructed, consisting of six drift chamber planes, three either s ide of a toroidal magnet. A first brief description of the system and its main parameters as well as the principles for track reconstruction and T-O determination is given.
