1. An apparatus for determining or monitoring a temperature of a medium in a containment, comprising:
a measuring insert having a temperature sensor for registering temperature, and including a process-far region arranged to be positioned further from the medium in the containment, and a distal region adjoining the process-far region and including a distal insert tip arranged to be positioned closer to the medium in the containment;
a protective tube, in which the temperature sensor is arranged, including a closed distal tube tip forming a distally outermost extremity of the apparatus;
a heat conductive one-piece formed piece, which is arranged in the protective tube and surrounds the measuring insert in at most a section of the measuring insert which section includes the process-far region of the measuring insert;
wherein the formed piece includes a tubular section defining an axis and arranged around the process-far region of the measuring insert, and such that the tubular section extends between the measuring insert and the protective tube; and
a securement component for releasable securing of the formed piece in the protective tube and on the measuring insert, wherein the securement component has at least one basic body, and wherein the securement component is made of a heat insulating material and the formed piece is positioned at least partially in the securement component and contacted by the securement component in such a way that a compressive force on the at least one basic body in an axial direction is transmitted to the formed piece.
