         20 . The temperature control device of  claim 12 , wherein the connection section has a first connection nozzle in fluidic connection with the first flow duct. 
     
     
         21 . The temperature control device of  claim 12 , further comprising a second flow duct through which the temperature control medium flows back into the connection part. 
     
     
         22 . The temperature control device of  claim 21 , wherein the second flow duct is between the first flow duct and the heat transfer body. 
     
     
         23 . The temperature control device of  claim 22 , further comprising a bore in fluidic connection with the second flow duct and which permits a flow of the temperature control medium away from the second flow duct. 
     
     
         24 . The temperature control device of  claim 11 , wherein an outer surface of the heat transfer body has a flattened section configured to permit a flow of air displaced by insertion of the heat transfer body into the corresponding opening of the casting die out along the flattened section. 
     
     
         25 . The temperature control device of  claim 11 , wherein the heat transfer body has a first end region which is received by the connection part and heat-transferring region configured for insertion into the corresponding opening of the casting die. 
     
     
         26 . A casting die comprising:
 a casting die body having an opening configured to receive a heat transfer part of a temperature control device is inserted, wherein the temperature control device includes a connection section through which a temperature control medium flows, the connection part having an inlet and an outlet; and a heat transfer section having a heat transfer body configured for insertion into the opening of the casting die and by way of which a heat exchange is carried out between the temperature control medium and the casting die.   
     
     
         27 . The casting die of  claim 26 , wherein at least one outer surface region of the heat transfer body is in direct contact with a corresponding wall region of the casting die which delimits the opening. 
     
     
         28 . The casting die of  claim 26 , wherein a temperature of the casting die is controllable by the temperature control device.
