Surface-structured glass element and method for producing it

A batch, comprising:

• multiple glass elements, each of the glass elements comprising:
• a glass surface comprising a surface structuring, the surface structuring comprising at least one structured region of the glass surface that, owing to glass removal, has a higher roughness than an adjoining unstructured region of the glass surface, the at least one structured region having a mechanical stress profile which can be measured by stress birefringence, wherein the at least one structured region has a compressive stress on the glass surface that is higher in absolute terms than a stress in the adjoining unstructured region, wherein the at least one structured region also has at least one of the following properties:
• the compressive stress becomes smaller in absolute terms with increasing depth and transitions into a tensile stress, wherein a maximum tensile stress is smaller in absolute terms than the compressive stress on the glass surface;
• or
• the compressive stress has a value of less than 5 MPa in absolute terms on the glass surface and becomes smaller in absolute terms with increasing depth;
• wherein the at least one surface structuring of each of the glass elements is in the form of an individual, different encoding.
