Here we report on a new survey for pulsars and transients in the 10,pc region around using the Effelsberg radio telescope at frequencies between 4 to 8 GHz. Our calibrated full-Stokes data were searched for pulsars and transients using , , and . Polarisation information is used in the scoring of the candidates. Our periodicity acceleration and jerk searches allowed us to maintain good sensitivity towards binary pulsars in ≳ 10-hr orbits. In addition we performed a dedicated search in linear polarisation for slow transients. While our searches yielded no new discovery beyond the redetection of the magnetar SGR J1745-2900, we report on a faint single pulse candidate in addition to several weak periodicity search candidates. After thoroughly assessing our survey's sensitivity, we determined that it is still not sensitive to a population of millisecond pulsars. Next generation radio interferometers can overcome the limitations of traditional single-dish pulsar searches of the Galactic Centre. PulsarX TransientX PRESTO
