A brief description of the new 1.5-meter solar telescope GREGOR located at the Observatorio del Teide in Tenerife will be given. GREGOR will provide a spatial resolution of about 75 km on the Sun, and with its light collecting capability we will be able to study the development of small magnetic features with high cadence. From the beginning, it will be equipped with the GREGOR Fabry-Pérot Interferometer (GFPI) for the visible spectral range and with a GRating Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS). Both postfocus instruments can be combined with a polarimeter, and in both cases the light is modulated by two ferro-electric liquid crystals. A calibration unit can be inserted to determine the instrumental polarization. Because of the altazimuthal mount, time-dependent rotation of the polarimetric reference plane is introduced, and we have to develop a polarization model of the telescope. Measurements to verify this model are in preparation.
