    The main focus of this paper is on the motion and geometry in pre-relativistic physics, beginning with the roots and winding up to the current status. Special emphasis is laid on the structure of the space of dynamical states, on the relationalism of motion, and on the ontology. General relativity and general covariance are discussed in the final section. A list of references comprising 111 items concludes the paper.
