- connection area connected to each other, which is formed between the ground electrode and the center electrode.
- the connection area stabilizes the distance between the ground electrode and the center electrode.
- the electrode spacing does not result in retrospect from the arrangement of the electrodes on a spark plug base body, but rather in advance due to the
- Spark plug electrode material formed.
- the ground electrode, the center electrode and the connection area are thus formed in one piece and coherently. In other words, this means that the distance between the electrodes results from the component geometry of the spark plug electrode arrangement and not from the separate arrangement of the electrodes when the spark plug is installed. This makes it possible to form the electrode spacing of all center electrodes and all ground electrodes, and thus all spark gaps, precisely and uniformly without high technical outlay.
- the spark plug electrode base body is not restricted in detail and can have any shape and layer thickness that form at least one ground electrode, at least one center electrode and one
- Connection area are suitable.
- the spark plug electrode material is also essentially not limited.

This is technically very simple and can be carried out in a time-consuming manner and enables the geometrically and form-technically precise formation of the
- the method can advantageously also provide a step of forming an ignition spark gap between the ground electrode and the center electrode.
- the spark gap is also advantageous according to this embodiment by removing spark plug electrode material from the
- Spark plug electrode base body formed, wherein the ground electrode and the center electrode remain connected to each other by the connection area consisting of the spark plug electrode material.
- the spark gap is thus given a specific geometric shape that is necessary for the permanent formation of a spark.
- the spark gap can be easily adapted and designed in a predetermined shape and position to the conditions in the engine compartment without high technical complexity.
- this also allows the spark gap between all ground electrodes and center electrodes to be set as desired in the radial direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the spark plug.
- any suitable method can be used for the spark plug electrode base body. It is particularly simple, inexpensive and precise
- the method can further advantageously comprise a step of deep-drawing at least one area of the spark plug electrode main body.

- the connection area is also advantageously designed in the form of at least one web, which connects the ground electrode and the center electrode to one another. With a small geometric extension, a web offers a very good option for stabilizing the distance between the ground electrode and the center electrode and is easy both by removing
- Spark plug electrode material from the spark plug electrode body as well as by building spark plug electrode material.
- connection region comprises two to four webs which connect the ground electrode and the center electrode to one another.
- a number of more than four webs can also be more difficult to implement and in the further processing of the

- One or more openings are advantageously provided here. Through the openings
- electrodes are better washed with fuel gas or oxygen or air and exhaust air after combustion of the fuel gas is better from the
