What is claimed is: 1. An anchor channel, comprising: a channel element having a plurality of identical fastening points and a plurality of identical anchor elements, the plurality of identical anchor elements having the same form and dimensions and being attached to the identical fastening points on the channel element, and an additional element attached to one of the identical fastening points instead of one of the identical anchor elements, the additional element differing in form from the identical anchor elements. 2. The anchor channel as recited in claim 1 wherein at the fastening points the channel element has at least one opening, one of the anchor elements or the additional element being accommodated in the at least one opening. 3. The anchor channel as recited in claim 1 wherein the fastening points are each provided with an internal thread, one of the anchor elements or the additional element being screwed into the internal thread. 4. The anchor channel as recited in claim 1 wherein the additional element is a connector connected to a rebar or a formwork board. 5. The anchor channel as recited in claim 1 wherein the additional element is a rebar or a threaded rod. 6. The anchor channel as recited in claim 1 wherein the additional element is an adapter for securing an additional anchor element to the channel element. 7. The anchor channel as recited in claim 1 wherein material characteristics of the channel element and of the anchor element differ from the material characteristics of the additional element. 8. The anchor channel as recited in claim 1 wherein the anchor elements are rod-shaped stud anchors with a thickened section at an end for transmitting forces into concrete. 9. The anchor channel as recited in claim 1 wherein the channel element is provided with a slot running in a lengthwise direction of the channel element and delimited by two undercut legs of the channel element. 10.
