  Recent experimental results for the in-medium properties of hadrons obtained
with photoproduction of mesons from nuclei are discussed. The experiments were
done with the TAPS detector at the tagged photon beam of the MAMI accelerator
in Mainz. Measured were the final states $\pi^o X$, $\eta X$, $2\pi^oX$, and
$\pi^o\pi^{\pm}X$ for $^{12}$C, $^{40}$Ca, $^{93}$Nb, and $^{208}$Pb up to the
second resonance region. The results were used for an investigation of the
in-medium properties of the P$_{33}$(1232), the P$_{11}$(1440), the
D$_{13}$(1520), and the S$_{11}$(1535) resonances. It was found that the cross
sections can be spilt into a component which originates from the low density
surface region of the nuclei and a component which scales like the nuclear
volume. The energy dependence of the surface component is strikingly similar to
the deuteron, it shows a clear signal for the second resonance peak. The volume
component is lacking this peak and shows an enhancement at intermediate
energies. Furthermore the measurement of coherent $\eta$-photoproduction and
the final state $p\pi^o$ from $^3$He is discussed in the context of the search
for $\eta$-mesic nuclei.
