Abstract: A conductor bar and a method for producing a conductor bar of a stator winding for an electric machine, in particular a generator, having a stator as well as a rotor disposed rotatably therein. Each conductor bar is formed of component conductors which are made from conductive material, are situated one above another in pairs, traverse a stack from a top layer obliquely to a bottom layer and each have uniform cranks in the vicinity of the top layer and in a bottom region. The cranks of each two component conductors placed one above another and assigned to one another in pairs are disposed offset in the longitudinal direction at a spacing relative to cranks of a succeeding or preceding pair of component conductor bars. The component conductors are disposed in two stacks located next to one another and laterally adjoining one another. The component conductors are each situated one above another in pairs and are each mutually interlocked through the use of the laterally neighboring component conductors.
