Cylinder head for an internal combustion engine and method for the production thereof

A cylinder head for covering a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, comprising:

• a fluid conducting duct for feeding in a fluid to or discharging a fluid from the combustion chamber;
• a cooling duct for a cooling fluid for cooling the cylinder head;
• and
• at least one material cutout for thermal insulation, wherein the at least one material cutout is formed in a main body of the cylinder head and is arranged between the fluid conducting duct and the cooling duct, such that the at least one material cutout thermally insulates the fluid conducting duct from the cooling duct;
• wherein the at least one material cutout is arranged such that the at least one material cutout is separated from the fluid conducting duct by way of the main body, and
• wherein the at least one material cutout has a plurality of cutout regions which:
• a) in each case have a ring segment-shaped cross section and together surround the fluid conducting duct in an annular manner;
• or
• b) are in each case of a sleeve segment-shaped configuration and together surround the fluid conducting duct in a sleeve-shaped manner.
