The invention claimed is: 1. A rivet or screw connection of a first component to a second component, the connection comprising: the first component comprising a planar member having a first side and an opposing second side, and a pot-shaped recess extending through the planar member; the pot-shaped recess comprising: a base substantially parallel to the first side and axially offset from the second side in a direction opposite the first side, a first through-opening being concentrically arranged on and axially extending through the base, and a conical annular wall extending between the first side and the base, tapering toward the base, and having a wall thickness defined by an inner wall surface and an outer wall surface, the inner and outer surfaces having a plurality of corresponding dents and indentations circumferentially spaced around the base and defining a radius which is varied over the periphery of the wall, the varied radius stiffening the wall such that oscillations between the first and second components are reduced; the second component comprising a planar member having a first side and an opposing second side, a second through-opening extending between the first and second sides of the second component and axially aligned with the first through-opening, and a rivet or screw comprising a shank extending through the first and second through-openings, and the rivet or screw on each respective side of the through-openings comprising one of a rivet head, a screw head and a nut with a diameter larger than a diameter of the through-openings and clamped against a respective one of the base of the recess and the second side of the second component such that the rivet or screw retains the connection between the first and second components; wherein the inner wall surface adjoining the base has a radius which is larger than the radius of the respective rivet head, screw head or nut arranged on the base, such that the rivet head, the screw head, or the nut is distanced from, and not in contact with the wall of the recess. 2. A rivet or screw connection according to claim 1, wherein a diameter d1 of the recess in a region of the base and a diameter d2 of the respective rivet head, screw head or nut are at least one of: d1>1.5*d2, and d1>2*d2. 3. A rivet or screw connection according to claim 1, wherein the wall along its periphery, is corrugated. 4. A rivet or screw connection according to claim 1, wherein the wall along its periphery, in a plane perpendicular to an axis of the rivet or screw shank, has a star-shaped cross section. 5. A rivet or screw connection according to claim 1, wherein the wall has such a cross section along its periphery that a section between the wall and a plane perpendicular to an axis of the rivet or screw shank, at least three first locations, has a local minimal distance to the axis of the rivet or screw shank, and at least three further locations, each arranged between the three first locations, has a local maximal distance to the axis of the rivet or screw shank. 6. A rivet or screw connection according to claim 1, wherein the base of the recess of the first component has a larger thickness than regions of the first component connecting to the wall of the recess outside the recess. 7. A rivet or screw connection according to claim 1, wherein the first component and/or the second component at least partly contains plastic. 8. A rivet or screw connection according to claim 1, wherein the recess of the first component at least partly contains plastic. 9. A rivet or screw connection according to claim 1, wherein the second component is a door inner sheet metal part of a door of a vehicle. 10. A rivet or screw connection according to claim 1, wherein the first component is a door module, a window lifting device, or a separating wall between a wet side and a dry side of a door of a vehicle. 11. An apparatus comprising: a first component comprising a planar member having a first side and an opposing second side, and a pot-shaped recess extending through the planar member; the pot-shaped recess comprising: a base substantially parallel to the first side and axially offset from the second side in a direction opposite the first side, a first through-opening being concentrically arranged on and axially extending through the base, and a conical annular wall extending between the first side and the base, tapering toward the base, and having a wall thickness defined by an inner wall surface and an outer wall surface, the inner and outer surfaces having a plurality of corresponding smoothly transitioning dents and indentations circumferentially spaced around the base and defining a radius which is varied over the periphery of the wall, the varied radius stiffening the wall such that oscillations between the first and second components are reduced; a second component comprising a planar member having a first side and an opposing second side, a second through-opening extending between the first and second sides of the second component and axially aligned with the first through-opening, and a fastener comprising a shank extending through the first and second through-openings, and comprising a retaining feature on each end of the shank adjacent each respective side of the first and second through-openings and clamped against a respective one of the base of the recess and the second side of the second component such that the first and second components are coupled together; wherein the inner wall surface adjoining the base has a radius which is larger than the radius of the respective retaining feature arranged on the base, such that the retaining feature is distanced from, and not in contact with the wall of the recess. 12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein at least one of: the inner wall surface is corrugated along its periphery; the periphery of the inner wall surface has a star-shaped cross section in a plane perpendicular to an axis of the shank of the fastener; and the periphery of the inner wall surface has a cross section such that: (i) local minimal distances to the axis of the shank of the fastener exist at least three first locations, and (ii) respective local maximal distances to the axis of the shank of the fastener exist between each of the three first locations.
