Abstract

A longitudinal bearer support for a forward longitudinal bearer supported under angular bending at the end wall of a self-supporting motor vehicle body, whereby the end wall is locally bulged out in the direction of the vehicle end within the connecting area of each forward longitudinal bearer in such a manner that a form-rigid body results; each forward longitudinal bearer is forked in its approach at the form-rigid body and the resulting arms at least partially surround the form-rigid body; two arms are created by the forking which, extending either parallelly to one another or at an angle to one another, lead to the subfloor.
