Abstract. The author gives a complete description of the phase space in the Kaluza-Klein theory with asymptotic behaviour inspired from that of the Kaluza-Klein monopole solution. This is done by exhibiting the explicit asymptotic and parity conditions that the metrics and momenta must satisfy. This allows one to give the definitions of the Hamiltonian, the linear and angular momenta, the generators of asymptotic boosts and the electrical charge.
