Abstract

A glass panel railing with a U-section comprises a first limb, a second limb, a first base part, a second base part, a first hook receptacle and a second hook receptacle. Between the two limbs, the foot region of the glass panel is held in a fixed manner. The U-section is composed of a two-part design; the first limb and second limb. The first limb can be fastened to the building while the second limb can be attached to the first limb so as to provide stability.
