Zusammenfassung:We present results on resonance production by the NA49 and CERES collaborations. The measurement of the differential yields and spectral distributions of the <i>K<i/>*(892), <i>Δ<i/>(1232), <i>ρ<i/>, <i>ϕ<i/> and <i>Λ<i/>(1520) resonances from their leptonic and hadronic decay channels at different C.M.S. energies and for various colliding systems allows us to study in-medium modifications of the resonance mass, width and yield and constrains the properties of the hadronic phase. For <i>K<i/>*(892)<sup>0<sup/>, a strong system size dependence of the yield relative to kaon production is found. The production of the <i>Δ<i/>(1232) resonance is consistent with thermal model expectations. <i>ϕ<i/> meson spectra and yields reconstructed in the leptonic and hadronic decay channels are in agreement. Low-mass dilepton spectra indicate significant regeneration of the <i>ρ<i/> meson and a strong modification of the <i>ρ<i/> spectral function.
