We present the frst VLTI observations of targets in the Galactic Center region. The encouraging results are establishing the scientifb capabilities of infrared interferometry in the outstanding but - for interferometric means - distant and faint dust obscured Central Parsec. We successfully combined the light of two 8m-class telescopes in K and N band with ESO's AMBER, and MIDI beam combiners. The enigmatic dust-forming and spectrally featureless source IRS 3 could be clearly resolved into two components with different physical properties. We estimated lower limits of the 10 μm sizes of the most prominent Northern Arm bow-shocks IRS 1W, 10W, and 8. Investigations on the suitability of IRS 7 as a phase reference for long baseline interferometry at NIR, wavelengths are underway.
