Abstract: We study 2-dimensional submanifolds of the space mathbbL(mathbbH3) of oriented geodesics of hyperbolic 3-space, endowed with the canonical neutral K"ahler structure. Such a surface is Lagrangian iff there exists a surface in mathbbH3 orthogonal to the geodesics of Sigma. We prove that the induced metric on a Lagrangian surface in mathbbL(mathbbH3) has zero Gauss curvature iff the orthogonal surfaces in mathbbH3 are Weingarten: the eigenvalues of the second fundamental form are functionally related. We then classify the totally null surfaces in mathbbL(mathbbH3) and recover the well-known holomorphic constructions of flat and CMC 1 surfaces in mathbbH3.
