contents We show that for each abelian number field $K$ of sufficiently large degree $d$ there exists an element $α\in K$ with $K=\IQ(α)$ and absolute Weil height $H(α)\ll_d |Δ_K|^{1/2d}$ , where $Δ_K$ denotes the discriminant of $K$. This answers a question of Ruppert from 1998 in the case of abelian extensions of sufficiently large degree. We also show that the exponent $1/2d$ is best-possible when $d$ is even.
