1. An intervertebral implant for insertion into an intervertebral disc space between two adjacent vertebral bodies of a human or animal spine, wherein the intervertebral implant has an implant top side, which defines a first vertebral body abutment face for abutting against a first vertebral body, and an implant bottom side, which defines a second vertebral body abutment face for abutting against a second vertebral body, wherein the intervertebral implant comprises a frame structure with at least two support elements, wherein the at least two support elements extend from the implant top side to the implant bottom side, wherein each of the at least two support elements extends rectilinearly along a respective support element longitudinal axis that extends transversely to at least one of the first vertebral body abutment face and the second vertebral body abutment face, wherein each of the at least two support elements has a respective first end face that faces away from the intervertebral implant and forms part of the first vertebral body abutment face and a respective second end face that faces away from the intervertebral implant and forms part of the second vertebral body abutment face, and each of the at least two support elements extends rectilinearly an entire distance from the respective first end face to the respective second end face, wherein the frame structure comprises a first self-enclosed inner frame part and a second self-enclosed inner frame part, and wherein the at least two support elements connect the first inner frame part and the second inner frame part to one another by a direct rectilinear connection of the first inner frame part and the second inner frame part to the at least two support elements.
