    The author studies the Beckman-Quarles theorem in euclidean planes. Combining a series of results of other geometers (also with reference to T. R. Dawson's ``match-stick'' geometry, which was recently popularized again in a chapter of G. E. Martin's new book about geometric constructions) he obtains the following Corollary: Let \(f\) be a bijection of a euclidean plane over an archimedean field that preserves a constant distance between points and lines. Then \(f\) is an isometry.
