The first part of the thesis contains an exposition of S1-actions on
3-manifolds, including the classification of 3-dimensional contact S1-manifolds.
The known classification results of 4-dimensional symplectic SO(3)- and SU(2)-manifolds are
reproved, before the main result, the classification of 5-dimensional contact SO(3)-manifolds is worked out.
