In this note we will give a construction of the Poincaré group out of the modular groups of the wedge algebras provided the groups act on the algebra of every double cone like the associated Lorentz boosts. This construction will use the concept of half-sided modular inclusions instead of the first and second cohomology of the Poincaré group as used by Brunetti, Guido and Longo. By our method we obtain directly the Poincaré group and not its covering group.
