A method for bonding two fiber composite components with each other to form a fiber composite structure includes integrating conductive fibers underneath a bonding surface of at least one of the two fiber composite components, each conductive fiber comprising a carbon fiber coated with an electrically insulating coating, the conductive fibers running along the bonding surface and protruding at least at their ends from the respective fiber composite component; arranging the two fiber composite components against each other at their respective bonding surfaces; passing an electric current through the conductive fibers by electrically contacting the conductive fibers at their protruding ends so that the respective fiber composite component is heated at the bonding surface to a curing temperature; and joining the two fiber composite components with each other at their bonding surfaces via secondary bonding, co-bonding and/or co-curing at the curing temperature, thereby forming the fiber composite structure.
