Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a method for producing a housing body or at least parts of a housing body, especially for encapsulating optoelectronic components. According to the inventive method, a housing element is joined t o a preferably metallic housing structure, and the housing element and the housing structure are brought into contact by means of a glass solder. The a im of the invention is to enable a reliable, cost-effective and preferably hermetic join to be created between the metallic sleeve and the sheet of glass. To this end, the glass solder is applied as a mouldable mass, especially as a paste, before the housing element and housing structure are joined; the glass solder is pre-vitrified and fixed in its shape by means of at least one single energy input, especially by burning out organic constituents; and once the housing element has been inserted into the housin g structure, an at least partially hermetic join is created between the sheet of glass and the housing structure by means of heating.
