Abstract
A motor vehicle body includes a side sill and a pillar arranged on the side sill, which has a cross section with a first side and a following second side in a vehicle longitudinal direction. A cross member is attached to the side sill. A sill-side end section of the cross member includes a side wall following a first side wall of the end section in the vehicle longitudinal direction. The distance of the first side wall in the vehicle longitudinal direction towards the second side of the cross section of the pillar decreases in a vehicle transverse direction towards the side sill at least locally in regions. An upper cover wall is connected to a connection section of the cross member. The distance of the upper cover wall decreases in a vehicle vertical direction towards the pillar in the vehicle transverse direction at least locally in regions.
