  The so-called second resonance region of the nucleon comprises the states
P11(1440), D13(1520) and S11(1535). During the last few years photoproduction
experiments have largely contributed to a better understanding of these states,
but the strong suppression of the resonance structure in total photoabsorption
experiments from nuclei is still not understood. The D13-resonance dominates
the resonance structure due to its large photon coupling. In this contribution
new results for the excitation and decay modes of the D13 on the free nucleon
and first results for the in-medium behavior of the resonance are summarised.
