Abstract: For a smooth strongly convex Minkowski norm $F:mathbb{R}^{n}omathbb{R}_{geq0}$, we study isometries of the Hessian metric corresponding to the function $E=frac12F^2$. Under the additional assumption that $F$ is invariant with respect to the standard action of $SO(k)imesSO(n-k)$, we prove a conjecture of Laugwitz stated in 1965. Further, we describe all isometries between such Hessian metrics, and prove Landsberg Unicorn Conjecture for Finsler manifolds of dimension $nge3$ such that at every point the corresponding Minkowski norm has a linear $SO(k)imesSO(n-k)$-symmetry
