Model computations of protostellar evolution depend very strongly on the initial conditions: Fragmentation of massive cloud cores or coagulation of substellar condensations, the physical state of gas and dust (e.g. the formation of ice-mantles and grain coagulation), the presence of magnetic fields and its effect on gas and dust, and the formation of accretion disks as a consequence of an initial angular momentum of the protostellar condensation. The MPIfR bolometer group together with the molecular spectroscopists R. Mauersberger and T.L. Wilson have embarked on a program aimed at the exploration of the earliest evolutionary stages of high- and low-mass star formation. Here follows a brief progress report.
