The third edition of the voluminous book on ``5000 years of geometry, history, cultures, people'' (written in German) differs from the second (see Zbl 1064.01004 [ME 2006e.02681]; and Zbl 0979.01001 [ME 2000f.03824] for the first edition) by the addition of some new results on circular earthwork in Sachsen Anhalt (ca.\ 4800 B.C.) and the Nebra Sky Disk (ca.\ 1800 B.C.) as well as by a short remark on medieval visualisation of abstract entities. Finally, new colored figures are added.
