Hollow-interior vehicle door consisting of an internal in its entirety essentially pot-shaped or pan-shaped stiffening structure, and of at least one external outer panel element being essentially lid-shaped and supported by the essentially pot-shaped or pan-shaped stiffening structure, such as a door skin, as well as of functional parts for practicing the door functions, and of optionally an inner panel element, in which the essentially pot-shaped or pan-shaped stiffening structure serves to accommodate functional parts of the vehicle door. The essentially pot-shaped or pan-shaped stiffening structure is divided into two parts, in fact, into a first frame-shaped stiffening element (12) for supporting the outer panel element (outer panel 10) and into a second essentially pot-shaped or pan-shaped stiffening element (14) for supporting functional parts of the vehicle door (1) and that the two stiffening elements (12 and 14) have, in the area of the outward-pointing, thus in Y-direction pointing, side walls of the door interior (1A), elongated, preferably frame-shaped connecting surfaces (18 and 18′) which define the access opening (1B) to the door interior (1A).
