The stellar metallicity distribution of low-mass stars is one of the major touchstones for models describing the chemical evolution of our Galaxy. In contrast to the gaseous components, the abundances of the stellar components also reflect the temporal enrichment. Hence, the stellar metallicity distribution is a stringent test for evolutionary models of galaxies.
