The physical conditions in the centre of spiral galaxies as our own galaxy still are not very well known. They offer themselves to more or less exotic speculations, some of which involve the possible existence of black holes and mechanisms for the production of high energy cosmic rays. In view of such argumentations I feel it worthwhile to look in more detail into recent progress obtained in the understanding of the dynamics of the central region of spiral galaxies which turns out to be intimately related to the galaxy as a whole, especially its spiral structure.
