We have made observations of the Galactic center region in the CS J=1–0 and J=2–1 lines with the 45-m telescope at Nobeyama Radio Observatory in order to depict the fine structure and the activity of this region. We propose that several expanding molecular structures in this region are originated by successive supernova explosions at least of 102–3 times within 106 years. These may be responsible for strong magnetic fields in the Galactic center region. The interaction between one of the expanding molecular structures and the “vertical” filaments is found. From the appearance of the interaction, the magnetic field in the “vertical” filaments is estimated to be about 3–5 mGauss.
