A housing for a ball joint comprising:

• an interior space (3) adapted for mounting the joint ball (1) of a ball journal (2);
• an opening (4) for guiding through a journal section (5) of the ball journal (2) adjoining the joint ball (1);
• a contact region (7) present at an outer lateral surface of the housing (6) for sealing fastening of a sealing bellows edge (8);
• a deformed section (9) for rotationally and pivotably movable fixation of the joint ball (1) of the ball journal (2) in the interior space (3) of the housing (6);
• and
• the deformed section (9) having a smaller cross-section than the contact region (7) for the sealing bellows edge (8).
