1. An electrically heatable catalytic converter, comprising:

  • first and second, electrically conductive and electrically separated components; and

    an electrically insulating, stabilizing supporting structure being mechanically loadable in all directions for metallic bonding to said components, said supporting structure including;

    a first metallic structure;

    a second metallic structure; and

    an electrically insulating, ceramic material being disposed between said first and second metallic structures and being under three-dimensional pressure by contact of said first metallic structure and said second metallic structure from substantially all sides;

    said first and second metallic structures being shaped to substantially surround said ceramic material and exert pressure from substantially all sides onto said ceramic material, without touching one another; and

    said first metallic structure and said second metallic structure being respectively secured to said first and second components for fixing said components relative to one another.
