1. A spark gap arrangement comprising: a hollow body comprising an insulating material, the hollow body encompassing a main axis of the spark gap arrangement; andtwo electrodes arranged on face sides of the hollow body so that a discharge space is defined in an interior of a chamber of the hollow body, wherein an inner wall of the hollow body comprises a depression so that the chamber projects radially outwardly over the inner wall of the hollow body on at least one face side,wherein each electrode has an electrode region projecting into the interior of the chamber, andwherein the electrode region projecting into the interior of the chamber from the face side having the depression extends further into the interior of the chamber than the electrode region projecting into the interior of the chamber from the face side without a depression. 2. The spark gap arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the electrode region projecting into the interior of the chamber has a lateral region which runs parallel to the inner wall of the hollow body. 3. The spark gap arrangement according to claim 1, wherein a ratio between a main distance between the electrodes and a distance between the inner wall of the hollow body and the electrode region projecting into the interior of the chamber is greater than or equal to 0.75. 4. The spark gap arrangement according to claim 3, wherein the ratio between the main distance between the electrodes, and the distance between the inner wall of the hollow body and the electrode region projecting into the interior of the chamber is between 0.75 and 1. 5. The spark gap arrangement according to claim 1, wherein a ratio between a main distance between the electrodes, and a distance between the inner wall of the hollow body and the electrode region projecting into the interior of the chamber is greater than or equal to 1.5. 6. The spark gap arrangement according to claim 5, wherein the ratio between the main distance between the electrodes, and the distance between the inner wall of the hollow body and the electrode region projecting into the interior of the chamber is between 1.5 and 2. 7. The spark gap arrangement according to claim 1, wherein a distance between the inner wall of the hollow body and an electrode region projecting into the interior of the chamber, and an axial length of the depression, are approximately equal. 8. The spark gap arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the depression has a radial depth which is at most 20% of a wall thickness of the hollow body. 9. The spark gap arrangement according to claim 1, wherein a ratio of a chamber height and a creepage distance along an inner side of the hollow body of the chamber is greater than or equal to 0.8. 10. The spark gap arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the hollow body is a hollow circular cylinder having a recess on at least one face side for forming the depression. 11. The spark gap arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the electrodes comprise a pin-shaped, cylinder-shaped, or dome-shaped electrode region projecting into the interior of the chamber. 12. The spark gap arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the electrodes comprise attachment flanges via which they are attached to the face sides of the hollow body. 13. A spark gap arrangement comprising: a hollow body comprising an insulating material, the hollow body encompassing a main axis of the spark gap arrangement; andtwo electrodes arranged on face sides of the hollow body so that a discharge space is defined in an interior of a chamber of the hollow body,wherein an inner wall of the hollow body comprises a depression so that the chamber projects radially outwardly over the inner wall of the hollow body on one of the face sides,wherein each electrode has an electrode region projecting into the interior of the chamber, andwherein a ratio between a main distance between the electrodes and a distance between the inner wall of the hollow body and the electrode region projecting into the interior of the chamber is greater than or equal to 0.75, andwherein the electrode region projecting into the interior of the chamber from the face side having the depression extends further into the interior of the chamber than the electrode region projecting into the interior of the chamber from the face side without a depression.
