      The Reeh-Schlieder property of ground- and KMS-states is shown for linear fermionic and bosonic fields. The notions are introduced of (classical) linear fermionic and bosonic field theories on a spacetime, that is, on a Lorentzian manifold \((M, g)\), and then the canonical quantization of these fields are given. It is shown that the linear quantum fields on a stationary spacetime satisfies a certain type of hyperbolic equation. The main theorem states that the (quasifree) ground- and KMS-states with respect to the canonical time flow have the Reeh-Schlieder property; it is shown that when a classical field fulfills a certain hyperbolic partial differential equation, a state over the field algebra of the quantized theory has the Reeh-Schlieder property, where the state is a (quasifree in the bosonic case) ground- or KMS-state with respect to the group of time translations. The class of fields which fulfill the assumptions contains the Dirac field, the Proca field and the scalar field on arbitrary connected 4-dimensional globally hyperbolic stationary Lorentzian manifolds. As a consequence the Hartle-Hawking state for the Klein-Gordon field on the external Schwarzschild spacetime has the Reeh-Schlieder property.
