Abstract
The Hamburg Quasar Survey is a wide-angle objective prism survey for finding bright QSOs in the northern extragalactic sky ($|b| > 20^{\circ}$; $\delta > 0^{\circ}$). The taking of the prism plates for 567 fields covering this area was completed in 1997. Including direct plates for fields with $\delta > 20^{\circ}$ the plate archive contains now 1871 plates. In this paper we present a first list of 121 quasars, which were verified by slit spectroscopy in the years 1986-1991, while experiments to develop efficient selection techniques were made. The sample contains objects with brightnesses $15\leq B \leq 19.5$ and redshifts $z\leq 2.8$ collected over various parts of the sky, for which objective prism plates were available at that time.
