HADES is a second generation experiment designed to study
dielectron production in proton, pion, and heavy ion induced reactions
at the GSI accelerator facility in Darmstadt. The physics programme of
HADES is focused on in-medium properties of the light vector mesons. In
this contribution we discuss relevance of dielectron spectroscopy to
the problem of hadron mass origin. We present status of the HADES
experiment, demonstrate its capability to identify rare dielectron
signal and show first experimental results obtained from C+C reactions
at 2 AGeV.
