The Reeh-Schlieder property for thermal field theories

We show that the Reeh-Schlieder property w.r.t. the KMS-vector is a direct consequence of locality, additivity and the relativistic KMS-condition. The latter characterises the thermal equilibrium states of a relativistic quantum field theory. The statement remains vaild even if the given equilibrium state breaks spatial translation invariance.
