Stand for putting up post-like or stick-like parts, in particular Christmas trees, comprising - a base plate, - a receiving space which is arranged on the base plate and is designed to receive a post-like or stick-like part and which is formed by a wall structure formed from a first material; - at least two holding elements bordering the receiving space, which are arranged so as to be angularly offset about a central axis of the receiving space and can each be pivoted about a pivot axis away from the central axis in the direction of a release position and toward the central axis in the direction of a fixing position; - a clamping device and a flexible force transmission device which leads from the clamping device to the holding elements, wherein the holding elements are movement-coupled to the clamping device by means of the force transmission device, wherein, by transferring the clamping device from an unlocking position in the direction of a securing position, the force transmission device is pulled in a pulling direction toward the clamping device and/or is subjected to force so that the clamping device counteracts or prevents pivoting of the holding elements in the direction of the release position by means of the force transmission device; - a guide device through which at least one end of the force transmission device is guided to the clamping device; - a stabilizing component, - wherein the stabilizing component has at least one through-opening (81, 82) through which the guide device is guided, - wherein the guide device is connected to the base plate, so that the stabilizing component is immovably connected to the base plate by means of the guide device; and - wherein the clamping device is in direct contact with the stabilizing component, - wherein the clamping device has flange portions which project away from one another at an end opposite a clamping lever; characterized by the following features: - the stabilizing component is formed from a second material which has a greater strength than the first material; - the stabilizing component has, on its outside, a groove-shaped receptacle corresponding to the flange portions; - the clamping device is inserted from above into the groove-shaped receptacle of the stabilizing component; - the opposing flange portions of the clamping device that project away from one another prevent a movement of the clamping device directed radially toward the stabilizing component. - a base plate, - a receiving space which is arranged on the base plate and is designed to receive a post-like or stick-like part and which is formed by a wall structure formed from a first material; - at least two holding elements bordering the receiving space, which are arranged so as to be angularly offset about a central axis of the receiving space and can each be pivoted about a pivot axis away from the central axis in the direction of a release position and toward the central axis in the direction of a fixing position; - a clamping device and a flexible force transmission device which leads from the clamping device to the holding elements, wherein the holding elements are movement-coupled to the clamping device by means of the force transmission device, wherein, by transferring the clamping device from an unlocking position in the direction of a securing position, the force transmission device is pulled in a pulling direction toward the clamping device and/or is subjected to force so that the clamping device counteracts or prevents pivoting of the holding elements in the direction of the release position by means of the force transmission device; - a guide device through which at least one end of the force transmission device is guided to the clamping device; - a stabilizing component, - wherein the stabilizing component has at least one through-opening (81, 82) through which the guide device is guided, - wherein the guide device is connected to the base plate, so that the stabilizing component is immovably connected to the base plate by means of the guide device; and - wherein the clamping device is in direct contact with the stabilizing component, - wherein the clamping device has flange portions which project away from one another at an end opposite a clamping lever; characterized by the following features: - the stabilizing component is formed from a second material which has a greater strength than the first material; - the stabilizing component has, on its outside, a groove-shaped receptacle corresponding to the flange portions; - the clamping device is inserted from above into the groove-shaped receptacle of the stabilizing component; - the opposing flange portions of the clamping device that project away from one another prevent a movement of the clamping device directed radially toward the stabilizing component.
