Abstract Using a sample of more than 340000 events taken with the H1 detector at HERA in 2005, a new measurement of exclusive rho^0 photoproduction in the kinematic range 20 < W < 85 GeV and |t| < 3 GeV^2 is performed. From the measurement of the W dependence of this process in ten bins of t, the Pomeron trajectory lpha_P(t) can be extracted for the first time from the data of a single experiment.
