Hierbei kommt es auf eine gute Schalldämmung einer solchen Trennwand an. Ein weiteres Erfordernis ist, daß solche Trennwände große Abmessungen haben und bis zu einer Höhe von 15 m und mehr stabil ausgeführt werden müssen.For dividing larger rooms into smaller rooms such as at larger cinemas that are to be divided into smaller film screening rooms, partitions are used. Here it comes down to good sound insulation such a partition. Another requirement is that such partitions be large Have dimensions and are stable up to a height of 15 m and more have to.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale im Anspruch 1 gelöst. Dadurch, daß die Trennwand aus plattenförmigen Wandelementen aufgebaut ist, die über eine stabile Querversteifung miteinander verbunden sind, erhält man einen stabilen Aufbau selbst bei größer Höhe einer solchen Trennwand. Durch die elastische, Körperschall bzw. Luftschall reduzierende Zwischenlage an wenigstens einer Verbindungsstelle der ansonsten starren Querversteifung wird trotz des stabilen Aufbaus eine akustische Entkoppelung der gegenüberliegenden Wandflächen erreicht.This object is achieved by the features in claim 1. Thereby, that the partition is constructed from plate-shaped wall elements that have a stable Cross stiffeners are connected to each other, you get a stable structure yourself greater height of such a partition. Due to the elastic, structure-borne sound or airborne sound reducing intermediate layer at at least one connection point of the otherwise rigid In spite of the stable construction, transverse stiffening becomes an acoustic decoupling of the opposite wall surfaces reached.
