Abstract

A scaffolding crossbar having at least two, in particular at least three crossbar coupling elements at one end. The crossbar coupling elements can be designed to be the same. The crossbar coupling elements are designed preferably in the form of receiving openings. The crossbar coupling elements serve to detachably secure diagonal piece coupling elements. The scaffolding according to the invention, having a scaffolding crossbar of this type, has a diagonal scaffolding piece with a first diagonal piece coupling element at one end and a second diagonal piece coupling element at the other end. The first diagonal piece coupling element can be designed differently from the second diagonal piece coupling element, wherein the crossbar coupling elements are designed preferably for connecting both diagonal piece coupling elements. The scaffolding can thereby be designed such that it is optionally partially or completely particularly torsion resistant.
