  We summarize basic observational results on Sagittarius~A* obtained from the
radio, infrared and X-ray domain. Infrared observations have revealed that a
dusty S-cluster object (DSO/G2) passes by SgrA*, the central super-massive
black hole of the Milky Way. It is still expected that this event will give
rise to exceptionally intense activity in the entire electromagnetic spectrum.
Based on February to September 2014 SINFONI observations. The detection of
spatially compact and red-shifted hydrogen recombination line emission allows a
us to obtain a new estimate of the orbital parameters of the DSO. We have not
detected strong pre-pericenter blue-shifted or post-pericenter red-shifted
emission above the noise level at the position of SgrA* or upstream the orbit.
The periapse position was reached in May 2014. Our 2004-2012 infrared
polarization statistics shows that SgrA* must be a very stable system - both in
terms of geometrical orientation of a jet or accretion disk and in terms of the
variability spectrum which must be linked to the accretion rate. Hence
polarization and variability measurements are the ideal tool to probe for any
change in the system as a function of the DSO/G2 fly-by. Due to the 2014 fly-by
of the DSO, increased accretion activity of SgrA* may still be upcoming. Future
observations of bright flares will improve the derivation of the spin and the
inclination of the SMBH from NIR/sub-mm observations.
