Console as in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the material of the ridges (5, 6) and/or of the head plate(s) (4) is a metal, in particular steel that can be machined down and/or can be welded. 11. Console as in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the console (1) is attached, in particular screwed or clamped to the girder (2), in particular to a bracing anchor (10, 11) provided in the girder (2). 12. Console as in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the ridges (5, 6) are provided at their first end with at least one footplate (18). 13. Console as in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the footplate (18) is provided with bores, in particular centering bores for attachment by means of a bracing anchor (10, 11). 14. Travel way for a railborne vehicle, in particular a magnetic levitation train, for the connection of a girder (2) to at least one add-on part (3) (functional part) attached to the girder (2) by means of a console (1) to support and/or guide the vehicle, characterized in that the console (1) has at least one, preferably two ridges (5, 6) connected at their first end to the girder (2) and in that a receptacle for the screwing on of the add-on part (3) that is essentially perpendicular to the extension of the ridges (5, 6) and is at a distance of the girder is provided at its second end and in that the receptacle is a head plate (4) to constitute a contact surface for the add-on part (3), in that a plurality of add-on parts are placed one after the other on the travel way and in that the distance between two consoles (1) in the longitudinal direction of the travel way is essentially an integral fraction of the length of one of the add-on parts (3). 15. Travel way as claimed in claim 14, characterized in that the console (1) consists of at least one roller-extruded profile. 16. Travel way as claimed in claim 14 or 15, characterized in that the console (1), in particular a footplate (18) of the console (1) is imbedded in the concrete of the girder (2). 17. Travel way as claimed in one of claims 14 to 16, characterized in that at the stope end of two add-on parts (3) one single console (1) connects these two add-on parts (3) to the girder (2), whereby the first add-on part (3) is connected to the first ridge (5, 6) or with the first head plate (4) and the second add-on part (3) with the second ridge (5, 6) of the second head plate (4). 18. Travel way as claimed in one of claims 14 to 17, characterized in that the add-on part (3) is essentially a box-shaped component in its cross-section with integrated connecting surface (24), lateral guiding surface (25) and stator attachment. 19. Travel way as claimed in one of claims 14 to 18, characterized in that the console (1) is installed on a girder (2) made of fiber concrete. 20. Method for the production of consoles (1) for the attachment of an add-on part (3) to the girder 2 of a rail-borne vehicle comprising the following steps: - production of a roller-extruded profile (24), in particular by hot-rolling a metal blank, whereby the cross-section of the roller-extruded profile (24) is essentially identical to a partial cross-section of the console (1), and - cutting the roller-extruded profile (24) into segments, whereby the length of each partial segment is equal to the height (h) of the console (1). 21. Method as claimed in claim 20, characterized in that the rollerextruded profile (24) is double-rolled. 22. Method as claimed in claims 20 or 21, characterized in that one or more holes (15, 16) are drilled into a bottom plate 14 of the console (1) once the segments have been cut off to attach the console (1) to the girder 2. 23. Method as claimed in one of claims 20 to 22, characterized in that the profile (24) is combined by welding at least two individual roller-extruded profiles (21, 21') together and in that this welding takes place in particular before the rollerextruded profile (24) is divided into segments. 24. Method as claimed in one of claims 20 to 23, characterized in that the composite profile (24) consists of two roller-extruded profiles (21, 21') abutting symmetrically against each other. 25. Method as claimed in one of claims 20 to 24, characterized in that the rollerextruded profiles (21, 21') are mostly h-shaped. 26. Method as claimed in one of claims 20 to 25, characterized in that at least one of the two surfaces (23) that are connected to each other by a welded seam (25) are made angular towards the facing surface (23, 23') before welding and in particular tapering at a blunt angle, so that at least one wedge-shaped welding seam (25) is produced in welding. 27. Method as claimed in one of claims 20 to 26, characterized in that the welding seam (25) extends in a direction of the console (1) in which only little load is applied after attachment of the console (1) to the travel way girder (2) and the installation of the add-on part (4) on the console (1). 28. Method as claimed in one of claims 20 to 27, characterized in that the width (b) of the console (1) between the surface of the console (1) in contact with the girder (2) and the surface of the console (1) in contact with the add-on part (4) is made with an excess dimension (ue) so that the console (1) may then be machined down to the desired dimension. 29. Method as claimed in one of claims 20 to 28, characterized in that the connection point at the console (1) is machined mechanically before and/or after the attachment on the girder (2) and/or on the add-on part (3). 30. Method as claimed in one of claims 20 to 29, characterized in that the material can be reduced by machining, in particular by grinding or drilling.
