Abstract
Finite Minkowski near-planes are defined and investigated. After giving a description of all the Minkowski near-planes of order 3 and 4 respectively, we will prove that each Minkowski near-plane of order n ≥ 5 is either a Minkowski plane of order n — 1 or is embeddable in a Minkowski plane of order n.
