A process for forming a starting profile with a profile cavity by a bending forming process and an internal high pressure produced in a sealed profiled cavity by way of a fluid, including the steps of initially, before forming by internal high pressure, forming a starting profile at a distance from free ends of the starting profile and across a longitudinal axis of the starting profile into a cross-section with favorable bending properties, by one of transversely inwardly bent side walls of the starting profile, folding during bending, flat pressing or a flat high-sided profile produced in an extrusion process.
