Self-climbing unit for a self-climbing system for a concrete structure, wherein the self-climbing system comprises a first concrete wall section and a second concrete wall section that are arranged lying one above the other in the vertical or climbing direction; wherein the self-climbing unit comprises: climbing brackets that in each case comprise first anchor receiving arrangements for anchor bolts, by means of which the climbing brackets in each case may be anchored in a detachable manner in anchor holes of first anchor sites of the first concrete wall section; working brackets having second anchor receiving arrangements for anchor bolts, by means of which the working brackets in each case may be anchored in a detachable manner in anchor holes of second anchor sites of the second concrete wall section, wherein in each case one of the first anchor sites of the first concrete wall section and one of the second anchor sites of the second concrete wall section are arranged in pairs aligned with respect to one another in the vertical or climbing direction; characterised by a working platform that is fastened to the working brackets; climbing cylinders that are fastened in each case at one end to one of the climbing brackets and at the other end to one of the working brackets and by means of which the working brackets may be moved from the second anchor sites to third anchor sites of a third concrete wall section that adjoins the second concrete wall section in the vertical or climbing direction above the second concrete wall section, wherein the first anchor receiving arrangements of the climbing brackets and the second anchor receiving arrangements of the working brackets in each case correspond with one another in their pattern in relation to their relative positions, with the result that, after the working brackets are anchored in the anchor holes of the third anchor sites of the third concrete wall section, the climbing brackets may be moved by means of the climbing cylinder to the second anchor sites of the second concrete wall section and may be anchored in the vacated anchor holes of the second anchor sites of the second concrete wall section, wherein the self-climbing unit comprises concrete formwork elements (58a, 58b) that are supported on the working brackets, wherein the working brackets in each case comprise supporting columns that in each case extend upwards, at least in sections, in the vertical direction away from the working bracket when the self-climbing unit is in operation, and at least one proportion of the supporting columns of the working brackets comprise multiple fastening sites for one of the climbing cylinders, wherein the fastening sites are arranged spaced apart from one another along the supporting column in such a manner that the climbing cylinder may be fastened to the supporting columns in a gently stepped manner. climbing brackets that in each case comprise first anchor receiving arrangements for anchor bolts, by means of which the climbing brackets in each case may be anchored in a detachable manner in anchor holes of first anchor sites of the first concrete wall section; working brackets having second anchor receiving arrangements for anchor bolts, by means of which the working brackets in each case may be anchored in a detachable manner in anchor holes of second anchor sites of the second concrete wall section, wherein in each case one of the first anchor sites of the first concrete wall section and one of the second anchor sites of the second concrete wall section are arranged in pairs aligned with respect to one another in the vertical or climbing direction; characterised by a working platform that is fastened to the working brackets; climbing cylinders that are fastened in each case at one end to one of the climbing brackets and at the other end to one of the working brackets and by means of which the working brackets may be moved from the second anchor sites to third anchor sites of a third concrete wall section that adjoins the second concrete wall section in the vertical or climbing direction above the second concrete wall section, wherein the first anchor receiving arrangements of the climbing brackets and the second anchor receiving arrangements of the working brackets in each case correspond with one another in their pattern in relation to their relative positions, with the result that, after the working brackets are anchored in the anchor holes of the third anchor sites of the third concrete wall section, the climbing brackets may be moved by means of the climbing cylinder to the second anchor sites of the second concrete wall section and may be anchored in the vacated anchor holes of the second anchor sites of the second concrete wall section, wherein the self-climbing unit comprises concrete formwork elements (58a, 58b) that are supported on the working brackets, wherein the working brackets in each case comprise supporting columns that in each case extend upwards, at least in sections, in the vertical direction away from the working bracket when the self-climbing unit is in operation, and at least one proportion of the supporting columns of the working brackets comprise multiple fastening sites for one of the climbing cylinders, wherein the fastening sites are arranged spaced apart from one another along the supporting column in such a manner that the climbing cylinder may be fastened to the supporting columns in a gently stepped manner.
