Support head for a ceiling support for a ceiling formwork, wherein the support head comprises - a connecting element with first and second connecting surfaces (3, 4) facing away from one another, wherein the first connecting face is connectable or connected to a formwork support and the second connecting face has first guide means (5a, 5b) for guiding a displacement element which is displaceable with respect to the connecting element, and - the displacement element which is arrangeable between a girder bar, e. g. in the form of a double U-profile, the ceiling formwork and the connecting element and has second guide means ( 7, 7', 7") which cooperate with the first guide means (5a, 5b) of the connecting element, characterized in that the second guide means ( 7, 7', 7") cooperate with the first guide means (5a, 5b) such that - in a loaded state of the support head in a first displacement position the first and second guide means (5a, 5b, 7, 7', 7") form an axis underneath the girder bar, about which the displacement element is tiltable relative to the connecting element by a first angle (α), and - in an unloaded state of the support head, when the element abuts against the girder bar, the connecting element is displaceable from the first displacement position into a second displacement position substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the girder bar and transversely to the girder bar in a plane defined by the first connecting surface with a normal vector in a direction of load introduction in the loaded state, wherein the connecting element is rotatable in the second displacement position relative to the displacement element by a second angle (β) which is greater than the first angle (α), in particular by the second angle (β) of at least 90 degrees. - a connecting element with first and second connecting surfaces (3, 4) facing away from one another, wherein the first connecting face is connectable or connected to a formwork support and the second connecting face has first guide means (5a, 5b) for guiding a displacement element which is displaceable with respect to the connecting element, and - the displacement element which is arrangeable between a girder bar, e. g. in the form of a double U-profile, the ceiling formwork and the connecting element and has second guide means ( 7, 7', 7") which cooperate with the first guide means (5a, 5b) of the connecting element, characterized in that the second guide means ( 7, 7', 7") cooperate with the first guide means (5a, 5b) such that - in a loaded state of the support head in a first displacement position the first and second guide means (5a, 5b, 7, 7', 7") form an axis underneath the girder bar, about which the displacement element is tiltable relative to the connecting element by a first angle (α), and - in an unloaded state of the support head, when the element abuts against the girder bar, the connecting element is displaceable from the first displacement position into a second displacement position substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the girder bar and transversely to the girder bar in a plane defined by the first connecting surface with a normal vector in a direction of load introduction in the loaded state, wherein the connecting element is rotatable in the second displacement position relative to the displacement element by a second angle (β) which is greater than the first angle (α), in particular by the second angle (β) of at least 90 degrees.
