We prove that of all two-dimensional lattices of covolume 1 the hexagonal
lattice has asymptotically the fewest distances. An analogous result for
dimensions 3 to 8 was proved in 1991 by Conway and Sloane. Moreover, we give a
survey of some related literature, in particular progress on a conjecture from
1995 due to Schmutz Schaller.
