Let K be a non-archimedean local field of characteristic 0 with residue class field not of characteristic 2. In this note we will determine the minimal covolume µSL2K/{Gamma} of a lattice {Gamma} in SL2K. Furthermore, we describe all lattices of minimal covolume in terms of their associated graphs of groups and hence up to isomorphism. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: 20E08, 20G25.
