%X We show that the Schwarzschild solution can be embedded in a class of
nonstandard solutions of the vacuum Einstein¡¯s equations with arbitrary
rotation curves. These nonstandard solutions have to be taken as physical, if
dark matter as needed in the standard theory cannot be found. As a consequence
general relativity is considered as a classical field theory in Minkowski space
and not as a geometric theory in the sense of Einstein. Assuming an
asymptotically flat rotation curve and introducing a material disk into this
model we find a matter density in accordance with the Tully- Fisher relation.
