This spring action of the with limited flat side walls. The connecting pin provided with a clamping rib ensures that the building block wall fits into the corners of the open 40 so that the clamping effect is retained, Hollow body side into it. This results in when the connecting pin is slightly worn Disadvantage that the clamping effect is between the ver. The inventive arrangement of connecting pin and the open hollow body side clamping ribs can reduce the plugged together construction, when the building blocks are connected several times to each other at a small angle have been. In addition, 45 can be dated because the building block walls resiliently follow the hollow body walls tear open at the corners, give. Furthermore, it allows the resilient Nachgiewhen the plugged together building blocks are not in good quality that building blocks connected together in a row Can also absorb bending stress separately in the direction of their longitudinal axis, or when trying to be plugged together so that models with slightly curved columns or To twist building blocks against each other. 50 walls can be erected. A special
