Abstract
A card-shaped data carrier includes an electronic chip module having at least one chip and a contact structure; and a card body having an arrangement region for receiving the chip module. The chip module is arranged in the arrangement region of the card body. The card-shaped data carrier has at least a first wood layer and at least a second wood layer. The card-shaped data carrier can be bent out of a rest position into a bent position by the application of an external force; at least one restoring element for increasing the restoring force of the card-shaped data carrier is arranged between the first wood layer and the second wood layer. The restoring element is designed such that the card-shaped data carrier can be automatically returned from the bent position to the rest position when the external force is no longer applied.
