Abstract: A honeycomb body made of a composite material for fire-resistant lightweight structures including honeycomb cells having a cross section is provided. The cell walls of the honeycomb cells are produced from a composite material. The composite material has at least one carrier, for example a woven fabric or a laid fabric made of fibers, and a matrix into which the carrier is embedded. The matrix includes a silicon-based ceramic material, of which the proportion by mass in the matrix along the cell walls is at least 30 wt. %. A method for producing such a ceramic honeycomb body and a honeycomb tube as an intermediate product for the same are also provided. A flat semi-finished product as a curable intermediate product for the production of fire-resistant fiber composite lightweight structures, which has a matrix mixture including dispersed silicon particles, is also provided.
