A housing includes a cup-shaped, plastic housing case; a cooling channel guided in the housing case for fluid cooling of an electric or electronic device situated in an interior of the housing case; and a planar shielding body integrated into the housing case and traversing walls of the housing case for shielding from electromagnetic radiation. The shielding body is a metallic wire cage or trough. The cooling channel is a metallic tubing. The shielding body and the cooling channel are connected to form a frame-like, pre-assembled assembly. The pre-assembled assembly, consisting of the shielding body and the cooling channel, is extrusion-coated with a plastic or encapsulated in a plastic to form the housing case.
