A honeycomb core for dimensionally stable components (e.g., a reflector) in sandwich construction with a plurality of cells with a triangular cell cross section made from carbon fiber reinforced plastic. The honeycomb core is assembled from flat laminate strips by plugging, wherein the laminate strips have slots running transversely to the extension direction respectively on their longitudinal side. The laminate strips are connected to one another in such a way that the slots of three laminate strips engage in a positive-locking manner in one another at a respective intersection point to form the corners of the cells of the honeycomb core.
