Abstract: We prove an affine analog of Scharlau's reduction theorem for spherical buildings. To be a bit more precise let $X$ be a euclidean building with spherical building $partialX$ at infinity. Then there exists a euclidean building $$ such that $X$ splits as a product of $$ with some euclidean $k$-space such that $$ is the thick reduction of $partialX$ in the sense of Scharlau. ewline In addition we prove a converse statement saying that an embedding of a thick spherical building at infinity extends to an embedding of the euclidean building having the extended spherical building as its boundary.
