Abstract
In known motor vehicle body structures, jamming of side doors, which hinders attempts to rescue of vehicle occupants, may occur after a vehicle impact. According to the present invention, the outer shell of the movable vehicle body part is designed to be resistant to deformation and the pertaining inner shell is designed to be deformable at least in sections. In at least one flanking vehicle body section, in a correspondingly inverse manner, the outer shell is constructed so as to be deformable at least in sections, and the inner shell is constructed to be deformation resistant. This body structure is suitable for use, for example, in passenger cars.
