 Abstract: On his way to general relativity, Einstein used the equivalence principle to formulate a theory of the static gravitational field. In this context he introduced an approximate coordinate transformation to an accelerated frame which turns out to be closely related to Rindler coordinates, widely used in modern general relativity. This work, published in the Annalen, led him directly to interpret gravitation in terms of spacetime curvature.
