Abstract
The COMPTEL experiment aboard CGRO, exploring the previously unknown sky at MeV-energies, has so tar detected 10 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN): 9 blaza rs and the radio galaxy Centaurus A. No Seyfert galaxy has been found yet. With these results COMPTEL has opened the field of extragalactic gamma-ray astronomy in the MeV-band.
