The author gives a new criterion for a convex polytope P in euclidean d- space to be indecomposable. Here, P is called indecomposable if in any Minkowski-sum \(P=Q+R\) the summands Q and R are homothetic to P. P turns out to be indecomposable if there exists a particular family of indecomposable faces of P. \textit{G. C. Shephard}, Mathematika 10, 89-95 (1963; Zbl 0121.390) gave a somewhat similar criterion.
