In this paper, we give some characterizations of Mannheim partner curves in the Minkowski 3-space E¡. Firstly, we classify these curves in E^. Next, we give some relationships characterizing these curves and we show that the Mannheim theorem is not valid for the Mannheim partner curves in E¡. Moreover, by considering the spherical indicatrix of the Frenet vectors of those curves, we obtain some new relationships between the curvatures and torsions of the Mannheim partner curves in E¡.
