       27 . The structure as claimed in claim  3 , wherein there is at least one tensile-force transfer element (ZE) that is designed to deform transversely and to bend.  
   
   
       28 . The structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein at least one anchoring device (AV  1 ) is provided that has at least one compound-filler-support surface (AF) that extends transversely to the resulting weight pressure of the compound filler and is associated with at least one tier (E) of the supporting structure (TK 1 ).  
   
   
       29 . The structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein between at least two at least partially overlapping anchoring devices there is a connection (VZ), designed especially in the form of a gear wheel, that snugly transfers shearing forces.  
   
   
       30 . A structure comprising: 
 a) at least one essentially rigid supporting structure designed as a projection that has a plurality of support elements arranged one above the other in tiers (E), as well as at least one compound filler that consists at least partially of bonding agent-free granulate material and/or bulk material and/or soil material;    b) at least one anchoring device connected to the supporting structure, which at least one anchoring device extends into the compound filler;    c) at least one anchoring device (AV 2 ) comprises a plurality of at least partially rigid anchoring elements (AE 2 ) that are optionally designed as concrete structures, are arranged one after the other in the direction from the supporting structure (TK 2 ) into the compound filler (MF), and are connected to one another as well as to the supporting structure (TK 2 ) in such a way as to transfer tensile forces wherein the structure of at least one tier differs from the structure of another tier in the number of anchoring devices.    
   
   
       31 . The structure as claimed in  claim 30 , wherein the anchoring elements are connected to one another and to the supporting structure in such a way as to be able to swivel and/or to be able to move transversely.  
   
   
       32 . The structure as claimed in  claim 31 , wherein the anchoring elements are connected to one another and to the supporting structure by means of a transversely deformable or bendable and/or articulated diagonal tie.
