Analogously to the projective planes over fields the plane geometry over any unitary and associative ring \(R\) is studied. It can be described by the set of submodules spanned by one element within the lattice of all submodules of \(R^3\) over \(R\). By means of perspectivities for regular triangles an enhanced Pappus configuration (EP) is defined. It is shown: \(R\) is a commutative ring if and only if (EP) is fulfilled for one and with it for all regular triangles.
