Abstract: The invention relates to a support system which is used to place a support onto a wall, for example, a building wall (2) comprising at least one elongate, support, base element (3) which can be secured to the wall (2), whereon additional functional elements (4,7,23) can be fixed. The aim of the invention is to produce such a system which is particularly variable, can be produced in a simple manner and which is stable. Said aim is achieved by virtue of the fact that the base element (3) is produced as an elongate hollow body and comprises, on a front side (9) oriented away from the wall (2), at least three rows of securing openings (11) which are used to secure the functional elements (4, 7, 23) and which extend, respectively, in the longitudinal direction of the base element (3) and the rows of securing openings (11) are arranged in an offset manner about an angle in relation to the longitudinal axis of the base element (3).
