A well known theorem of Hurwitz states that any plane point-lattice, which has no points in the interior of the star-shaped domain |xy| ≤ 1, must have the area of its fundamental parallelogram ≥√5. In this thesis a generelization of plane point-lattices, with respect to the star-shaped domain |xy| ≤ 1, is given and it is shown that the average area ≥√5.
