Abstract: Such a substructure has vertically and horizontally running profiles which are fastened on a masonrywork wall, cross over one another and have holes. So that there is no need for dimensionally accurate installation, or for holes to be drilled into the profiles at the building site, in order to avoid displacement of a profile when the connection between the profiles is being loosened, both the vertically and the horizontally running profiles have slots, wherein the slots of the vertically running profile cross over the slots of the horizontally running profile, and at least one of the profiles has a channel-like cross section, it being possible for a plate which has a slot to be inserted into the channel, and fixed, at the crossover point of the profiles, the slot of said plate crossing over the slots of the vertically and of the horizontally running profiles and it being possible for the plate to be locked to the profiles by means of a locking component which passes through the crossing-over slots.
