Abstract
In September 1881 and a century later, in February 1982, the Astronomische Gesellschaft (AG) met at Strasbourg Observatory. The 1881 meeting, the 9th AG General Assembly, focussed essentially on the international Zonen-Unternehmen while the 1982 Spring Meeting gathered together astronomers from Austria, Germany, France and Switzerland around discussions on the Milky Way structure and kinematics.
