A honeycomb body, in particular a catalytic converter carrier body, with stacked and/or wound sheet layers of which at least a portion are structured sheet layers, thus forming passages through which a fluid can flow. A portion of the sheet layers is of a first thickness and a portion of the sheet layers is of a second thickness which is greater than the first thickness. The honeycomb body contains in its interior a lattice-like structure that is formed from at least two sheet layers of the second thickness, of which at least one is a structured sheet layer and which at least in a location-wise manner are connected together by a procedure involving the intimate joining of materials. Honeycomb bodies according to the invention, while affording good stability, can have particularly thin sheet layers whereby at least locally they have a particularly low thermal capacity.

[ I claim:] [1.] A honeycomb body including a catalytic converter carrier body, comprising:sheet layers being at least one of stacked and wound sheet layers having an interior, part of said sheet layers being structured sheet layers having passage wall surfaces defining a passage through which a fluid can flow, some of said sheet layers having a first thickness and others of said sheet layers having a second thickness being greater than said first thickness, at least two of said sheet layers of said second thickness forming a lattice-shaped structure in said interior and at least one of said at least two of said sheet layers of said lattice-shaped structure being a structured sheet layer and said at least two of said sheet layers of said lattice-shaped structure connected together at least in a location-wise manner by a procedure involving intimate joining of materials, a larger portion of said passage wall surfaces in said interior formed by said sheet layers of said first thickness than by said sheet layers of said second thickness and said first thickness being between 15 .mu.m and 50 .mu.m.
