The first support head (6) lies on the first lower wooden support (5). The first upper wooden support (5) is supported directly on the first lower wooden support. ## Claims ### Claim at position 1 1-18. (canceled) ### Claim 19 Storey ceiling construction having a first lower wooden support for supporting a storey ceiling, a first upper wooden support for supporting a further storey ceiling and a first support head made of wood for introducing the forces of the storey ceiling into the first lower wooden support, wherein the first support head lies on the first lower wooden support and the first upper wooden support is supported directly on the first lower wooden support. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) Storey ceiling construction according to claim 19, wherein the first support head has a recess, and the first upper wooden support and/or the first lower wooden support is/are lead through the recess of the support head, so that the first upper wooden support can rest directly on the first lower wooden support. ### Claim 21 (depends on 19) Storey ceiling construction according to claim 19, wherein the first lower wooden support, on the side facing the first support head, is executed in stepped tapering fashion so that the first lower wooden support is introduced into the recess of the first support head, and the first support head rests with the edge of the recess on the shaped step of the first lower wooden support. ### Claim 22 (depends on 19) Storey ceiling construction according to claim 19, wherein the first lower wooden support and/or the first upper wooden support has a main fiber direction at a right angle to the storey ceiling. ### Claim 23 (depends on 19) Storey ceiling construction according to claim 19, wherein the first support head of wood has a first main fiber direction and a second main fiber direction different from the first main fiber direction, wherein the first main fiber direction and the second main fiber direction are arranged in the plane of the storey ceiling. ### Claim 24 (depends on 23) Storey ceiling construction according to claim 23, wherein the first main fiber direction and the second main fiber direction are arranged at a right angle to one another. ### Claim 25 (depends on 23) Storey ceiling construction according to claim 23, wherein the first support head has a plurality of timber layers, wherein in the plurality of timber layers, a first timber layer with the first main fiber direction alternates with a second timber layer with the second main fiber direction. ### Claim 26 (depends on 25) Storey ceiling construction according to claim 25, wherein the first timber layer has at least two wood elements that lie next to one another in the layer plane in the direction of the second main fiber direction, and/or the second timber layer has at least two wood elements lying next to one another in the layer plane in the direction of the first main fiber direction, wherein the at least two wood elements of a timber layer have one wood element of one species of timber and one wood element of a second species of timber. ### Claim 27 (depends on 19) Storey ceiling construction according to claim 19, wherein the first support head has at least one first area with a plurality of timber layers of a first timber specie, at least one second area with a plurality of timber layers with a second timber species and at least a third area with a plurality of timber layers in which the first wood species and the second wood species alternate. ### Claim 28 (depends on 27) Storey ceiling construction according to claim 27, wherein the recess is placed in the second area, and the second timber species is more stable than the first timber species. ### Claim 29 (depends on 25) Storey ceiling construction according to claim 25 having the storey ceiling, wherein the storey ceiling comprises the first support head and an auxiliary supporting structure, wherein the auxiliary supporting structure has a plurality of timber layers, wherein in the plurality of timber layers a first timber layer with the first main fiber direction alternates with a second timber layer with the second main fiber direction. ### Claim 30 (depends on 29) Storey ceiling construction according to claim 29, wherein the auxiliary supporting structure is connected on the front end with the front end of the first support head. ### Claim 31 (depends on 30) Storey ceiling construction according to claim 30, wherein the auxiliary supporting structure is arranged on the front end with a front end of the support head through a gap at a distance, and the auxiliary supporting structure is connected in bearing fashion with the first support head via an adhesive layer filled into the gap. ### Claim 32 (depends on 29) Storey ceiling construction according to claim 29, wherein the upper layer of the support head and/or of the auxiliary supporting structure has a main fiber direction that runs perpendicular to the main fiber direction of the lower layer of the first support head and/or of the auxiliary supporting structure. ### Claim 33 (depends on 29) Storey ceiling construction according to claim 29, having a second lower wooden support, a third lower wooden support, a fourth lower wooden support, a second upper wooden support resting on the second lower wooden support, a third upper wooden support resting on the third lower wooden support, a fourth upper wooden support resting on the fourth lower wooden support, wherein the storey ceiling furthermore has a second support head resting on the second lower wooden support, a third support head resting on the third lower wooden support and a fourth support head resting on the fourth lower wooden support, wherein the auxiliary supporting structure has four first auxiliary supporting elements connecting two neighboring of the support heads and at least a second auxiliary supporting element that connects the four first auxiliary supporting elements and forms a closed surface of the storey ceiling between the four first auxiliary supporting elements. ### Claim 34 (depends on 19) Building having a storey ceiling construction according to claim 19.
