In 1903 H. Minkowski obtained two integral formulae for closed convex surfaces in three dimensional Euclidean space. In this paper we obtain generalised Minkowski formulae on compact orientable immersed submanifolds of an arbitrary Riemannian manifold. By successive specialisation we indicate how known integral theorems can be obtained as particular cases of our result.
