Abstract

The invention relates to a mounting system and to a method for mounting a dividing wall (1) on at least one holding device (2, 3), for example a holding rod or a holding post. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for dividing regions. To this end, a first mounting device (23 to 28) which can be mounted on the holding device (2, 3) and a second mounting device (23 to 28) which can be mounted on the holding device (2, 3) are used. Furthermore, a mounting element (35) is provided which can be mounted on the first mounting device (23 to 28) and has a receptacle (36), in which a dividing wall (1) can be received in a non-clamping manner. Moreover, a clamping holder (4 to 9) is used, wherein the clamping holder (4 to 9) can be mounted on the second mounting device (23 to 28), wherein the clamping holder (4 to 9) has a first clamping part (12) and a second clamping part (18), and wherein the first clamping part (12) and the second clamping part (18) are designed so as to hold a dividing wall (1) between them in a clamping manner.
