Abstract
A honeycomb body includes: a first end face; a second end face, the honeycomb body being configured to permit gas flow through the honeycomb body from the first end face to the second end face in a flow direction; and a plurality of at least partially structured sheet metal layers, layered one on top of the other and entwined with each other to form gas-permeable channels. At least one of the plurality of sheet metal layers is reinforced or replaced by at least two elongate electrical heating elements arranged approximately parallel to one another with a spacing one behind the other in the flow direction and extending transversely to the flow direction.
