This paper investigates Laguerre minimal surfaces \(M\) in real 3-space which are defined as the critical surfaces of the functional \(L= \int_M(H^2-K)/K\,dM\). As a result, it turns out that the round spheres are the only Laguerre minimal ovoids. Furthermore, a surface without umbilical points and with a non-degenerate second fundamental form which is not Laguerre minimal is uniquely determined by its Laguerre Gauss map. The paper also gives a classification theorem of surfaces with a vanishing Laguerre form.
