A hoop lock comprising:

• a lock body (10) and
• a hoop (12) which can be coupled at its hoop ends (14) and which can be latched thereto in a coupled state, wherein two force cells (16) being spatially separated from one another are arranged in the lock body (10) for the reception of the hoop ends (14) and each force cell (16) is associated with a latching arrangement (18, 20;
• 118, 120;
• 218) for a hoop end (14) which is adjustable between a latched state and a released state and which can be actuate via a locking unit (22), and wherein at least one latching arrangement has a bolt element (18;
• 118;
• 218) that is separate from said at least one latching arrangement, said bolt element being movably held at the force cell wherein the force cell is spatially separated from the locking unit, said bolt element being operative to be actuated by an actuating member extending between the locking unit and the latching arrangement, aid bolt element being supported at the force cell in the latched state on a side that is remote from the inserted hoop end (14) and that faces in the release direction, and wherein at least one force cell has a U section whose open side faces the other force cell, and wherein the inserted hoop end is supported at a U base of the U section and the bolt element is supported at at least one U limb of the U section.
