Therein he demonstrated that the spacetime of Einstein's special relativity theory can be described by means of a four-dimensional (pseudo-)Euclidean geometry. The September/October 2008 issue of the Annalen is dedicated to the memory of Minkowski. Historical papers (Damour, Kastrup), papers extending special relativity (Mashhoon, Cacciatori-Gorini-Kamenshchik), papers on electrodynamics in Minkowski space (Itin-Friedman, Obukhov, Sihvola-Lindell), and an essay on the Weinberg-Witten theorem (Loebbert) convey ideas of the modern developments initiated by Minkowski's speech.
