A joint (9, 11) replacing an intervertebral disk is provided between the bridging part and at least one of the two outer cover plates. Preferred Features: An intervertebral disk replacement joint is arranged between the bridging part and each outer cover plate. The bridging part has a holding device (17) for the bridged vertebra.
