    The second author [Bull. Aust. Math. Soc. 51, 163--169 (1995; Zbl 0829.52007)] has generalized the isodiametric inequality for lattice-point-free planar convex sets by \textit{P. R. Scott} [Math. Mag. 47, 218--221 (1974; Zbl 0295.52005)] to arbitrary lattices. In the present paper the authors solve the isodiametric problem for lattice-point-free convex sets in a more proper sense: Let \(L\) be an arbitrary lattice in the Euclidean plane. For each feasible value \(D\) characterize the convex set of diameter \(D\) (containing no interior points of \(L\)) which has maximum area. For a more general version of the isodiametric problem we refer to a paper of \textit{W. Barthel} and \textit{H. Pabel} [Result. Math. 12, 252--267 (1987; Zbl 0633.52010)].
