Abstract
This paper concerns a construction of Minkowski planes over half-ordered fields [5] and [20]. Solving various functional equations the Klein-Kroll types of these Minkowski planes are determined with respect toG- andq-translations and (p, q)-homotheties. Examples for some of the resulting types are given.
