1. A scattered radiation collimator element for a scattered radiation collimator configured to absorb scattered radiation generated during an examination of an object by interaction of x-ray or gamma radiation used for this purpose with the object, the scattered radiation collimator element comprising:a plurality of absorber elements, each of the absorber elements being a strip or filament segment, and being arranged adjacent to one another with respect to their longitudinal direction to form a planar absorber surface of the scattered radiation collimator element. 2. The scattered radiation collimator element as claimed in claim 1, wherein a first group of the plurality of absorber elements is, with respect to their longitudinal direction, aligned in a first direction and a second group of the plurality of absorber elements is, with respect to their longitudinal direction, aligned in a second direction which runs obliquely with respect to the first direction. 3. The scattered radiation collimator element as claimed in claim 2, wherein the absorber elements of the first group and the second group are interwoven to form a cross-like mesh. 4. The scattered radiation collimator element as claimed in claim 2, wherein the plurality of absorber elements are mechanically stabilized by a matrix produced by a curable material. 5. A scattered radiation collimator comprising:a plurality of scattered radiation collimator elements as claimed in claim 2, wherein absorber surfaces of the plurality of scattered radiation collimator elements face one another. 6. A radiation detector unit for detecting x-ray or gamma radiation, comprising:one or more radiation detector modules; andone or more scattered radiation collimators as claimed in claim 5, arranged upstream of the one or more radiation detector modules in the direction of incidence of the x-ray or gamma radiation. 7. The scattered radiation collimator element as claimed in claim 1, wherein a first group of the plurality of absorber elements is, with respect to their longitudinal direction, aligned in a first direction and a second group of the plurality of absorber elements is, with respect to their longitudinal direction, aligned in a second direction, and wherein the first and second directions subtend an angle of less than or equal to 90 degrees. 8. The scattered radiation collimator element as claimed in claim 7, wherein the absorber elements of the first group and the second group are interwoven to form a cross-like mesh. 9. The scattered radiation collimator element as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plurality of absorber elements are mechanically stabilized by a matrix produced by a curable material. 10. A scattered radiation collimator comprising:a plurality of scattered radiation collimator elements as claimed in claim 1, wherein absorber surfaces of the plurality of scattered radiation collimator elements face one another. 11. A radiation detector unit for detecting x-ray or gamma radiation, comprising:one or more radiation detector modules; andone or more scattered radiation collimators as claimed in claim 10, arranged upstream of the one or more radiation detector modules in the direction of incidence of the x-ray or gamma radiation. 12. The scattered radiation collimator element of claim 1, wherein the plurality of absorber elements are arranged adjacent to one another in a direction of incident radiation. 13. The scattered radiation collimator element of claim 1, wherein the scattered radiation collimator element is configured as a single component of a scattered radiation collimator including a plurality of collimator elements, the single component having only two absorber surfaces. 14. A method for producing a scattered radiation collimator element for a scattered radiation collimator, the method comprising:producing a plurality of absorber elements, each of the plurality of absorber elements being a strip or filament segment, and designed to absorb x-ray or gamma radiation; andarranging the plurality of absorber elements adjacent to one another with respect to their longitudinal direction to form a planar absorber surface of the scattered radiation collimator element, the absorber surface being for absorbing scattered radiation. 15. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein a first group of the plurality of absorber elements is aligned in a first direction and a second group of the plurality of absorber elements is aligned in a second direction which runs obliquely with respect to the first direction. 16. The method as claimed in claim 15, wherein the arranging comprises interweaving to form a cross-like mesh. 17. The method as claimed in claim 16, wherein the plurality of absorber elements which are arranged adjacent to one another are mechanically stabilized by a curable material. 18. The method as claimed in claim 15, wherein the plurality of absorber elements which are arranged adjacent to one another are mechanically stabilized by a curable material. 19. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein a first group of the plurality of absorber elements is aligned in a first direction and a second group of the plurality of absorber elements is aligned in a second direction, and wherein the first and second groups are aligned such that the first direction and second direction subtend an angle of less than or equal to 90 degrees. 20. The method as claimed in claim 19, wherein the arranging comprises interweaving to form a cross-like mesh. 21. The method as claimed in claim 19, wherein the plurality of absorber elements which are arranged adjacent to one another are mechanically stabilized by a curable material. 22. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the plurality of absorber elements which are arranged adjacent to one another are mechanically stabilized by a curable material.
