Claim:
1. An electrolysis cell ( 1 ) having an anode ( 5 ), a cathode ( 2 ), and a membrane ( 4 ) positioned between the anode ( 5 ) and the cathode ( 2 ) and contacting the anode ( 5 ) via an anode contact area ( 14 ) and contacting the cathode ( 2 ) via a cathode contact area ( 12 ), the electrolysis cell comprising the cathode contact area ( 12 ) being greater than the anode contact area ( 14 ), the membrane ( 4 ) having a surface ( 11 ) oriented toward the cathode ( 2 ) which is greater than the cathode contact area ( 12 ), and the electrolysis cell ( 1 ) having cathodically polarized surfaces in direct contact with the electrically conductive water, wherein the cathode (
