1. A door lock for a motor vehicle door, the door lock comprising:
a locking mechanism including a catch and a pawl, wherein both the catch and the pawl are mounted on a base to allow rotation about an axis; and
a fixed support body for the pawl, wherein the pawl in normal operation is configured to be spaced apart from the fixed support body to allow rotation about a bearing pin, and only comes into contact with the fixed support body in a crash when the catch and the pawl are in an engaged position and the bearing pin is deformed at a same time, wherein the fixed support body is positioned such that the pawl maintains engagement with the catch in the crash when the pawl contacts the fixed support body, and wherein the fixed support body has a receptacle shaped for receiving at least a portion of the pawl in the crash,
wherein a distance between the pawl and the fixed support body in the normal operation is smaller than a region of interaction between the catch and the pawl.
