A Bragg spectrometer dedicated for x-ray spectroscopy experiments with HCI in the 2 to 10 keV region has arrived at GSI. The spectrometer has been developed for experiments planned within the SPARC collaboration and will already be used for x-ray spectroscopy at the ESR as well as at HITRAP. The commissioning of the spectrometer including soft- and hardware development (CCD-camera system, crystal holder and alignment etc.) was performed at the University of Kielce by D. Banas, P. Jagodzinski, M. Pajek et al..
