The Galactic bulge region has typically been avoided in the search for metal-poor stars\, bec ause of the extremely high density of mostly metal-rich stars and the high dust extinction. The bulk of the Galactic bulge is thought to originate f rom the (early) Galactic disk. However\, the oldest pressure-supported com ponent in our Galaxy is also expected to be present in its innermost regio n. The most metal-poor stars in the bulge region can provide unique insigh ts into the ancient Milky Way. \n\nI will present results from the Pristin e Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS)\, which used metallicity-sensitive narrow-ban d CaHK photometry to identify and follow up spectroscopically thousands of metal-poor candidates in the bulge. Using the bulk PIGS radial velocities \, we previously showed that the amount of inner Galaxy rotation decreases with decreasing metallicity. I will present recent work on the detailed o rbital properties for all stars in PIGS\, which strongly depend on their m etallicities and broadly show a transition from a disky bulge to a pressur e-supported component. It is exciting to see the growing amount of data on metal-poor stars in the inner regions of the Milky Way\, thanks to variou s surveys\, allowing us to set important constraints on the formation of t he ancient inner Galaxy.\n\nhttps://iaus379.aip.de/event/20/contributions/ 195/ LOCATION:Haus H\, Telegrafenberg URL:https://iaus379.aip.de/event/20/contributions/195/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
