Abstract: It is shown that flat zero-energy solutions (vacua) of the 5d Kaluza-Klein theory admit a non-trivial homotopy structure generated by certain Kaluza-Klein excitations. These vacua consist of an infinite set of homotopically different spacetimes denoted by $mathcal{M}_5^{(n)}$, among which $mathcal{M}_5^{(0)}$ and $mathcal{M}_5^{(1)}$ are especially identified as $M_{4}imes{S}^1$ and $M_5$, the ground states of the 5d Kaluza-Klein theory and the 5d general relativity, respectively (where $M_k$ represents the $k$-dimensional Minkowski space).
