The invention relates to a contact element for an electrically conductive connection between an anode and an interconnector of a high-temperature fuel cell. It is the object of the invention to achieve a more reliable electrically conductive connection with long-term stability between an anode and the associated interconnector of a high-temperature fuel cell. The contact element in accordance with the invention is arranged between an anode and an interconnector of a high-temperature fuel cell. It is formed with two areal electrically conductive part elements. In this respect, one respective part element is in touching contact with the anode and the other part element is in touching contact with the respective interconnector. Openings are formed in the part elements and the part elements are formed from materials having mutually different coefficients of thermal expansion.
