  • a wall element according to the invention is characterized by corner elements which not only serve to connect horizontal and vertical beams in the corner area, but which can also be used at any time, depending on requirements, for linking with other wall elements.
  • the high stability results from the fact that in the plug legs for connection to an adjacent horizontal or vertical profile of a wall element Axialboh- ments are provided, can be screwed into the screw to connect the corner element firmly with the respective horizontal or vertical profile of a wall element , When used as a single wall element then ultimately a cap can be placed, whereby the provided below the cap openings for screwing the screws are closed shapely outward.
  • the corner element according to the invention is characterized in that it has an intermediate body portion in the interior, in which a vertical and a horizontal bore is introduced from the outside.
  • This vertical and horizontal bore initially serves once to screw in the above-mentioned extending in the horizontal or vertical direction fastening screws, about which the corner element is connected to the horizontal or vertical profile of a wall element.
  • an intermediate anchoring element preferably cylindrical
  • a transverse bore introduced into the intermediate anchoring element is cursed with the bore extending vertically from top to bottom in the intermediate body section of the corner element.
