\abstractheader{\bf Elastic Electroproduction of $\rho$ Mesons
for $1 < Q^2 < 60$ ${\rm GeV^2}$ at HERA \\
H1 Collaboration, DESY}

\abstractbody{
The total cross section for the elastic electroproduction of $\rho$ mesons
is measured at HERA with the H1 detector for the photon virtuality in
the range $1 < Q^2 < 60$ ${\rm GeV^2}$ and for the hadronic centre of mass
energy in the range $30 < W < 140$ {\rm GeV}, using 1995 and 1996 data sets.
The shape of the $\rho$ mass distribution is studied as a function of $Q^2$.
Measurements are presented of the dependence of the cross section on $Q^2$,
$W$, $t$ (the four-momentum transfer squared to the proton), and of the 
vector meson polarisation state.
