Abstract: The systole of a compact non simply connected Riemannian manifold is the smallest length of a non-contractible closed curve ; the systolic ratio is the quotient $(mathrmsystole{)}^n/mathrmvolume$. Its supremum on the set of all the riemannian metrics, is known to be finite for a large class of manifolds, including the $K(pi,1)$. We study the optimal systolic ratio of compact, 3-dimensional non orientable Bieberbach manifolds, and prove that it cannot be realized by a flat metric.
