Abstract. The supermassive black hole
in the centre of the Milky Way, Sgr A*, is an ideal target for testing the
properties of black holes. A number of experiments are being prepared or
conducted, such as the monitoring of stellar orbits, the search for radio
pulsars or the recording of an image of the shadow of a event horizon. The
talk gives an overview of these approaches and concentrates in particular
on the prospects of using pulsars as probes, also in combination with event
horizon imaging.
