A probe holder having an access element which can be fitted to an opening in a wall of a pipe is provided. The access element has at least a portion of a continuous access opening, which is constructed for inserting a rod-like measuring instrument into the opening, and having a retention element which is constructed to secure the probe holder to the wall of the pipe. An arresting element is arranged to be movable relative to the access element in an insertion direction of the access opening between a first position and a second position, wherein the arresting element cooperates with the retention element in such a manner that in the first position a state which fixes the securing is defined and in the second position a state which releases the securing is defined.
