The geometrical structure of high-energy hadrons in shower cores measured with the KASCADE calorimeter is analyzed. The angular correlation, esp ecially the degree of alignment, is quantified by means of the commonly used parameter λ4 . The λ4 distribution obtained by KASCADE is comparable to that derived by other experiments. The analysis shows that the observed λ4 distribution is not linked to angular correlations due to jet production at high energies. The dependence on the transverse momentum pt in the simulation of hadronic interactions is marginal. In contrast to λ4 , the maximum distance dmax between the 4 most-energetic hadrons reveals a sensitivity both on pt and the primary mass.
