A center support column aCcording to claim 1, wherein several hollow space sections are provided within said profile means. 3. A center support column according to claim 2, wherein at least one of said space sections is accessible from the inside of the vehicle. 4. A center support column according to claim 3, wherein at least some of the hollow space sections are accessible from the outside of the vehicle. 5. A center support column according to claim 1, wherein the cross-sectional profile means is so constructed at the connecting places that the center column is connected with rounded-off corners to the longitudinal bearer means. 6. A center support column according to claim 1, wherein the roof includes a crossbearer means dimensioned so as to be particularly form-rigid and at least the hollow cross-sectional profile means disposed within the area of the upper longitudinal bearer means adjoins the crossbearer means. 7. A center support column according to claim 6, wherein the crossbearer means is constructed as a rollover bar. 8. A center support column according to claim 7, wherein said crossbearer means is formed by a flanged member and the roof sheet metal panel. 9. A center support column according to claim 8, wherein the crossbearer means is detachably arranged inside and below the roof bearer means. 10. A center support column according to claim 6, wherein the crossbearer means is constructed at its ends directly as the upper hollow cross-sectional profile means. 11. A center support column according to claim 10, wherein the ends of the crossbearer means are connected by way of readily detachable means with the lower hollow cross-sectional profile means of the center support column. 12. A center support column according to claim 11, wherein the cross-sectional profile means become wider from the narrowest cross section disposed within the area of the side windows in the upward and downward direction. 13. A center support column according to claim 12, wherein the cross-sectional profile means is so constructed at the connecting places that the center column is connected with rounded-off corners to the longitudinal bearer means. 14. A center support column according to claim 6, wherein the cross-sectional profile means become wider from the narrowest cross section disposed within the area of the side windows in the upward and downward direction. 15. A center support column according to claim 7, wherein the rollover bar is constructed as unitary hollow profile means which extends over the passenger space in an arcuate shape. 16. A center support column according to claim 15, wherein the lower ends of the rollover bar are extended from the lower longitudinal bearer means by way of a floor crossbearer means. 17. A center support column according to claim 16, wherein the rollover bar together with the lower crossbearer means is constructed as a closed support ring profile which is arranged in the center of the passenger space. 18. A center support column according to claim 17, wherein the closed support ring consists of two parts which are detachably connected with each other within a plane disposed within the area of the side windows. 19. A center support column according to claim 18, wherein a hollow space open toward the inside is provided within the upper area of the center support column which is equipped with means for fastening and storing safety belts. 20. A center support column according to claim 19, wherein said last-mentioned means includes roller means for winding-up the safety belts. 21. A center support column according to claim 20, wherein the side of the hollow space facing the passenger space is provided with elastic padding means which includes only an aperture for taking out the safety belt. 22. A center support column according to claim 21, wherein within the lower area of the center support column a hollow space open in a downward direction is provided for the accommodation of an automatically extensible vehicle liftIng jack. 23. A center support column according to claim 21, wherein within the lower area of the center support column, a hollow space is provided for the accommodation of accessories. 24. A center support column according to claim 21, wherein the center support column, as viewed in side view, has the shape of two trapezoids which abut against one another with the small sides thereof. 25. A center support column according to claim 24, wherein the lower area is detachably connected at the upper area of the center support column. 26. A center support column according to claim 9, wherein the cross-sectional profile means is so constructed at the connecting places that the center column is connected with rounded-off corners to the longitudinal bearer means. 27. A center support column according to claim 1, wherein the cross-sectional profile means become wider from the narrowest cross section disposed within the area of the side windows in the upward and downward direction. 28. A center support column according to claim 1, wherein a hollow space open toward the inside is provided within the upper area of the center support which is equipped with means for fastening and storing safety belts. 29. A center support column according to claim 28, wherein said last-mentioned means includes roller means for winding up the safety belts. 30.
