Abstract
A largely historical introduction is given to selected problems connected with observations and interpretations of iron lines in astronomical objects.
This paper is dedicated to the memory of Johannes Richter (1925–1986) of the Institut für Experimentalphysik, University of Kiel, whose measurement of oscillator strengths for iron and other elements has helped to put astronomical spectroscopy on a firmer foundation.
