    If \(\Phi\) is a bijection between the sets of lines of two linear spaces \({\mathcal L}_1\) and \({\mathcal L}_2 (\dim({\mathcal L}_1),\dim({\mathcal L}_2)\) \(\geq\) 3), such that intersecting lines go over in intersecting lines in both directions, then either \(\Phi\) arises from a collineation of \({\mathcal L}_1\) onto \({\mathcal L}_2\), or \({\mathcal L}_1\) and \({\mathcal L}_2\) are 3-dimensional generalized projective spaces and \(\Phi\) arises from a correlation.
