Abstract

A motor vehicle body is provided. The motor vehicle body includes a plate-like, three-dimensionally shaped cross member, of which a first flange supports a front, lower edge region of a windshield, and a second flange is supported against a structural element of the body. The cross member further encompasses a spacer that joins the two flanges and is elongated in the transverse direction of the vehicle, and which exhibits a sectional profile that extends horizontally along a straight line over the entire length of the cross member.
