         6 . The spacer carrier plate as claimed in  claim 1 ,
 wherein   a receiving channel as an engagement receptacle is arranged penetrating the carrier plate or at least four adapter channels are arranged on the second surface of the carrier plate in pairs at the periphery.   
     
     
         7 . The spacer carrier plate as claimed in  claim 1 ,
 wherein   a receiving notch as an engagement surface formed from a distance portion and a cover plate running parallel to the carrier plate is arranged on the second surface of the carrier plate.   
     
     
         8 . The spacer carrier plate as claimed in  claim 1 ,
 wherein   a receiving rail, which is accessible via an access opening, as engagement receptacles formed from two lateral distance portions and cover plates running parallel to the carrier plate is arranged on the second surface of the carrier plate.   
     
     
         9 . The spacer carrier plate as claimed in  claim 1 ,
 wherein   fastening extensions arranged on the first surface of the carrier plate have gradations or toothings and are distributed uniformly on the first surface.   
     
     
         10 . The spacer carrier plate as claimed in  claim 1 ,
 wherein
 the spacer carrier plate is made of plastic and/or metal, 
 wherein, when made of metal, it is a punched part and/or sheet metal bent part. 
   
     
     
         11 . A spacer comprising a spacer carrier plate as claimed in  claim 1 ,
 wherein
 the spacer carrier plate is fixedly inserted by its fastening extensions on its first surface into the spacer, 
 wherein the first surface lies flat against the spacer or is at least partially recessed into the spacer, 
 and the engagement receptacles and/or engagement surfaces arranged on the second, opposite surface and intended for fastening means are oriented protruding from the spacer. 
   
     
     
         12 . The spacer carrier plate as claimed in  claim 1 ,
 wherein   the spacer carrier plates are releasably interconnected in a planar plate-like arrangement,
 wherein the connecting regions, between which the spacer carrier plates are formed in a selective or planar and manually or mechanically separable or breakable manner, 
 and the spacer carrier plates, which are interconnected in such a planar manner, are in a uniformly grid-like arrangement to one another and/or are arranged in a planar casting mold in a manner coordinated in position and spacings with the arrangement of the spacers to be fitted, 
 wherein the plate which is formed by this planar arrangement and connection of the spacer carrier plates and consists of spacer carrier plates is designed to be insertable loosely into the planar casting mold or has connecting means and/or bearing extensions and/or supporting extensions with which the plate is placed onto the planar casting mold and/or is inserted into receptacles on the planar casting mold, 
 wherein the connecting means and/or bearing extensions and/or supporting extensions on the plate formed from the spacer carrier plates are distributed over the surface of the plate at the periphery and/or on the underside. 
   
     
     
         13 . A method for inserting the spacer carrier plate for receiving fastening means in spacers as claimed in  claim 12 ,
 wherein
 in a first step, a casting mold for a spacer breaking plate or a casting mold formed from a multiplicity of spacer casting molds or a multiplicity of individual casting molds for simultaneous production of a multiplicity of spacers is filled with a casting compound, 
 in a second step, a planar plate-like arrangement of releasably interconnected spacer carrier plates is inserted by the fastening extensions arranged on their first surface simultaneously into the casting mold or into a multiplicity of individual casting molds in a machine-automated manner or manually, 
 wherein at least in each case one spacer carrier plate of the planar plate-like arrangement is inserted into in each case one spacer before the curing of the casting compound forming the spacer, 
 and, in a final step, after curing of the spacers or the spacer breaking plate, the planar plate-like arrangement of releasably interconnected spacer carrier plates is separated and individual spacers fitted with spacer carrier plates are thus produced in a machine-automated manner or manually, 
 wherein, in the case of a casting mold for a spacer breaking plate, the final production of the individual spacers broken out of the plate or the separation of the spacer breaking plate and of the planar plate-like arrangement, inserted into the latter, of releasably interconnected spacer carrier plates is also carried out in one operation. 
   
     
     
         14 . A method for inserting the spacer carrier plate for receiving fastening means in spacers as claimed in  claim 13 ,
 wherein
 after curing of the spacers in the casting mold or of the multiplicity of individual casting molds, the planar plate-like arrangement of releasably interconnected spacer carrier plates with cured spacers arranged thereon or the spacer breaking plate is removed from the casting mold or from the multiplicity of individual casting molds using removal engagement extensions on the planar plate-like arrangement of releasably interconnected spacer carrier plates or using the engagement receptacles and/or engagement surfaces, which are arranged on the second surface of the spacer carrier plates, for fastening means, 
 wherein, in one operation, a multiplicity of spacers are removed from the casting mold or from the multiplicity of individual casting molds in an assembly, transported and supplied for separation of the spacers. 
   
     
     
         15 . The method for inserting the spacer carrier plate for receiving fastening means in spacers as claimed in  claim 13 ,
 wherein   the manual or machine-automated movement of the planar plate-like arrangement of releasably interconnected spacer carrier plates is carried out in the process using the engagement receptacles and/or engagement surfaces, which are arranged on the second surface of the spacer carrier plates, for fastening means.
