Math. 358, 97-103 (1985; Zbl 0582.12008)], several explicit results on the Galois module structure of the ring of integers with respect to a relative extension of abelian number fields were obtained [see e.g. \textit{N. P. Byott} and \textit{G. Lettl}, J. Theor. Nombres Bordx. 8, 125-141 (1996; Zbl 0859.11059) and the literature cited there]. The investigation of corresponding results for function fields started with \textit{R. J. Chapman} [J. Lond. Math. Soc. (2) 44, 250-260 (1991; Zbl 0749.11049)]. In the present paper, cyclotomic function fields, generated with the help of the Carlitz module, are investigated. It is shown that for relative extensions of such fields, the integers (i.e. the elements integral over the ring of polynomials) are free over the associated order if and only if the extension is Carlitz-Kummer.
