The author discusses the question how intrinsic volumes (or quermassintegrals) could be defined in an \(n\)-dimensional Minkowski space. By appropriate results and examples it is shown that a reasonable definition of intrinsic volumes should be based on the Holmes-Thompson notion of area and the Minkowski space should be hypermetric. Under these assumptions and based on the existence of a Crofton measure, intrinsic \(m\)-volumes \(Q_m (K)\) of a convex body \(K\) are then introduced as Crofton integrals and their properties are discussed. For special Minkowski spaces \((L_1\)-sums of one- and two-dimensional spaces), \(Q_m (K)\) can be expressed as mixed volumes of \(K\) and the isoperimetrix of the Holmes-Thompson \((n-1)\)-area. An alternative approach to intrinsic volumes is then discussed which is based on the latter connection to mixed volumes. In the proofs, several times a uniqueness result of Klain on even valuations is used, which makes it possible to extend integral representations from the lower dimensional case to arbitrary bodies. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0878.00066].
