Summary.

The text includes basic axioms and theorems concerning the collinearity structure based on Wanda Szmielew [2], pp. 18-20. Collinearity is defined as a relation on Cartesian product $\mizleftcart S, S, S \mizrightcart$ of set $S$. The basic text is preceeded with a few auxiliary theorems (e.g: ternary relation). Then come the two basic axioms of the collinearity structure: A1.1.1 and A1.1.2 and a few theorems. Another axiom: Aks dim, which states that there exist at least 3 non-collinear points, excludes the trivial structures (i.e. pairs $\llangle S, \mizleftcart S, S, S \mizrightcart\rrangle$). Following it the notion of a line is included and several additional theorems are appended.
