of any one parallelohedron in it. In order to meet face-to-face with another copy, each face of the polyhedron must correspond to a parallel face with the same shape but the opposite orientation. By a result of Hermann Minkowski, the shape of a parallelohedron is uniquely determined by the normal vectors and areas of these opposite face pairs. This implies that a parallelohedron must be centrally symmetric,
