A honeycomb body includes a housing and a honeycomb structure with a plurality of channels. The honeycomb structure is formed by at least one at least partially structured metallic layer which forms connecting points that fix the honeycomb structure in place. A cross section of the honeycomb structure has radial zones with the connecting points. At least 1% and no more than 20% of inner contact points of the at least one at least partially structured metallic layer in the cross section form a connecting point in at least one zone. The connecting points have lengths in a structure direction being different in at least two radial zones.

1. A honeycomb body, comprising: a housing;a honeycomb structure disposed in said housing;said honeycomb structure having a cross section with radial zones and at least one at least partially structured metallic layer with a structure direction, said at least one at least partially structured metallic layer defining a multiplicity of channels and inner contact points in said cross section;at least 1% and at most 20% of said inner contact points of said at least one at least partially structured metallic layer in at least one of said zones each forming a respective connecting point for fixing said honeycomb structure; andsaid connecting points having lengths in said structure direction, said lengths in at least two of said radial zones differing from one another. 2. The honeycomb body according to claim 1, wherein said honeycomb structure has a radial direction, and said lengths of said connecting points in one of said radial zones are smaller than in another of said radial zones situated further outward in said radial direction. 3. The honeycomb body according to claim 1, wherein said honeycomb structure has a center, one of said radial zones is an outer radial zone, and said lengths of said connecting points are smallest in said center and largest in said outer radial zone. 4. The honeycomb body according to claim 1, wherein said connecting points in at least one of said radial zones have a reduced length relative to said connecting points in two of said radial zones adjacent thereto. 5. The honeycomb body according to claim 1, wherein said connecting points each have a central point, and said central points of said connecting points of one of said radial zones are offset in said structure direction relative to said central points of said connecting points of another of said radial zones. 6. The honeycomb body according to claim 5, wherein said honeycomb structure has a central axis and end sides, and said central points of said connecting points of one of said radial zones close to said axis are disposed closer to one of said end sides than said central points of said connecting points in at least one of said radial zones radially further remote from said axis.
