We prove that the Heisenberg groups can be distinguished from the other connected and simply connected Lie groups via their group C^{*} -algebras. The main step of the proof is a characterization of the nilpotent Lie groups among the solvable Lie groups solely in terms of topological properties of their coadjoint orbits.
