The load-bearing element has an additional element which encloses the load-bearing element at least in sub-regions, and at least indirectly, and the load-bearing element is produced using a lost mold (1), and the additional element is formed, at least in part, of the lost mold, and wherein the additional element is formed in two or more parts. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A structural element for thermal insulation between two structural parts, comprising an insulating body, which is to be arranged between the two structural parts, and reinforcing elements at least comprising a load-bearing element which, with the structural element in the installed state, runs through the insulating body substantially horizontally and transversely to a substantially horizontal longitudinal extent of said insulating body, and is connectable at least indirectly to the two structural parts, the load-bearing element has an additional element (1, 11) which encloses the load-bearing element at least in partial regions and at least indirectly, wherein the load-bearing element is produced using a lost mold (1, 11b, 11d), and the additional element comprises at least partially the lost mold, and is formed in two or more parts. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The structural element as claimed in claim 1, wherein the lost mold (1, 11b, 11d) is formed in two or more parts. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The structural element as claimed in at least claim 1, wherein in addition to the lost mold (1), the additional element (11) includes at least one further supplementary element (11a, 11c). ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The structural element as claimed in at least claim 1, wherein in addition to the lost mold, the load-bearing element is produced using a further shaping element. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The structural element as claimed in at least claim 1, wherein the load-bearing element is formed of at least one of a curing or settable filling material. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The structural element as claimed in at least claim 1, wherein the load-bearing element has at an end side thereof a contact profile facing the structural part, and at least one of the additional element (1, 11) or the mold (1, 11b, 11d) at least indirectly surrounds the load-bearing element in a region of the contact profile. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The structural element as claimed in at least claim 1, wherein at least one of the additional element (1, 11) or the mold (1, 11b, 11d) is formed of at least one of HD polyethylene a thermal insulating material. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The structural element as claimed in at least claim 1, wherein the load-bearing element has at an end side thereof a contact profile which faces the structural part and is concavely or convexly curved in at least one of a vertical section or a horizontal section, and at least one of the additional element (1, 11) or the mold (1, 11b, 11d) has a convexly or concavely curved force-introduction surface (4a-4d, 24) oppositely adapted in shape to the contact profile in at least one of a vertical section or a horizontal section. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The structural element as claimed in at least claim 1, wherein at least one of the additional element (1, 11) or the mold (1, 11b, 11d) is produced at least partially by injection molding or coextrusion of two or more materials. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The structural element as claimed in at least claim 1, wherein at least one of the additional element (1, 11) or the lost mold (1, 11b, 11d) is formed by an assembly of two or more components (4, 5a-5d, 24, 25a, 25b), said is formed at least one of cohesively by adhesive bonding or by the load-bearing element material filled into the additional element or the mold. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The structural element as claimed in at least claim 10, wherein two components of at least one of the additional element or the mold which correspond to one another in terms of at least one of material, function or position are connected to one another via a connecting element. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The structural element as claimed in claim 1, wherein two adjacent load-bearing elements have at least one of a common one of the additional elements (1, 11) or a common mold (1). ### Claim 13 (depends on 5) The structural element as claimed in claim 5, wherein the filling material comprises a cement-containing, fiber-reinforced building material, high strength or ultra-high-strength concrete, high-strength or ultra-high strength mortar, a synthetic resin mixture, or a reaction resin.
