Abstract.

We assume that in a linear space \( (P, \frak{L}) \) there is a non-empty set M of points with the property that every plane containing a point of M is a projective plane. In section 3 an example is given that in general \( (P, \frak{L}) \) is not a projective space. But if M can be completed by two points to a generating set of P, then \( (P, \frak{L}) \) is a projective space.
