and applying a first insulation foil by adhesive bonding to at least one external area of the metallic housing structure. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: applying a second insulation foil by adhesive bonding to the first insulation foil. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one of the first insulation foil and the second insulation foil includes a layer system having at least one base layer and at least one adhesive layer. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one of the first insulation foil and the second insulation foil includes at least one base layer made of a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyesters, silicones, polyolefins, polyhaloolefins, polystyrenes, polyimides, and combinations thereof. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one of the first insulation foil and the second insulation foil includes at least one adhesive layer made of an adhesive selected from the group consisting of polysiloxane-based adhesives, acrylate-based adhesives, rubber-based adhesives, polyurethane-based adhesives, epoxy-resin-based adhesives, and combinations thereof. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein adhesive bonding is used to apply the first insulation foil at least to exterior sides and an exterior base of the metallic housing structure. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method as claimed in claim 6, wherein a shape of the first insulation foil corresponds at least to a flattened version of planar regions of the exterior sides and of the exterior base. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein adhesive bonding is used to automatically apply at least one of the first insulation foil and the second insulation foil from a strip of backing foil. ### Claim 9 A housing for a lithium ion cell, comprising: a metallic housing structure defining a wall thickness that is greater than or equal to 100 μm; and a first insulation foil applied by adhesive bonding to at least one external area of the metallic housing structure. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The housing as claimed in claim 9, further comprising: a second insulation foil applied by adhesive bonding to the first insulation foil. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The housing as claimed in claim 10, wherein at least one of the first insulation foil and the second insulation foil includes a layer system having at least one base layer and at least one adhesive layer. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The housing as claimed in claim 10, wherein at least one of the first insulation foil and the second insulation foil includes at least one base layer made of a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyesters, silicones, polyolefins, polyhaloolefins, polystyrenes, polyimides, and combinations thereof. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The housing as claimed in claim 10, wherein at least one of the first insulation foil and the second insulation foil includes at least one adhesive layer made of an adhesive selected from the group consisting of polysiloxane-based adhesives, acrylate-based adhesives, rubber-based adhesives, polyurethane-based adhesives, epoxy-resin-based adhesives, and combinations thereof. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The housing as claimed in claim 9, wherein the shape of the first insulation foil corresponds at least to a flattened version of planar regions of exterior sides and of an exterior base of the metallic housing structure. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The housing as claimed in claim 9, wherein a lithium ion cell includes the housing.
