i.e., the incenter of the medial
triangle of a reference triangle
. It is also the center of the excircles
radical circle.

and is Kimberling center .
The Spieker center is also the centroid of the perimeter of the original triangle, as well as the cleavance center (Honsberger 1995; illustrated above).
The Spieker center lies on the Nagel line, and is therefore collinear with the incenter, triangle centroid, and Nagel point.
It lies on the Kiepert hyperbola.
The Spieker center, third Brocard point, and isotomic conjugate of the incenter are also collinear.
