      The Lie geometry \(L(E)\) of a Laguerre geometry \(E\) is formed from the points of circles of \(E\) plus a point at infinity. It is shown here that, if \(E\) is finite-dimensional, locally compact and connected, in a certain topology, then \(L(E)\) is a generalized quadrangle with the topology attached.
