wherein a first portion of the at least one mounting shaft is received in at least one of the first and second receiving devices,

wherein the seat arrangement is intended and suitable for providing a sitting position at standing height,

wherein the seat arrangement only comprises one frame element, and

wherein the frame element is arranged between the first and second receiving devices of the fastening device.

2. The seat arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one frame element comprises an upper region for supporting a back of a passenger and at least one seat region integrated in the at least one frame element, and wherein the seat region is arranged at a height between 40 cm and 150 cm.

3. A seat arrangement for a means of transport, in particular for a means of passenger transport, the seat arrangement comprising:

a fastening device, including:

a base element;

a first fastening element, wherein the first fastening element includes a first arm element that extends from the base element along a height axis;

a second fastening element, wherein the second fastening element includes a second arm element that extends from the base element along the height axis;

a first receiving device, wherein the first receiving device is disposed at an end of the first fastening element opposite the base element;

a second receiving device, wherein the second receiving device is disposed at an end of the second fastening element opposite the base element,

wherein the fastening device can be joined to the means of transport at the base element;

at least one frame element; and

at least one mounting shaft, wherein the at least one frame element is joined to the fastening device by the at least one mounting shaft,

wherein a first portion of the at least one mounting shaft is received in at least one of the first and second receiving devices,

wherein the seat arrangement is intended and suitable for providing a sitting position at standing height,

wherein the at least one frame element comprises an upper region for supporting a back of a passenger and at least one seat region integrated in the at least one frame element, and

wherein the seat region is arranged at a height between 40 cm and 150 cm,

wherein the seat region of the at least one frame element comprises at least one first transverse portion extending substantially along a width axis and one second transverse portion extending substantially along the width axis,

wherein the upper region comprises a third transverse portion extending along the width axis, wherein the first transverse portion and the second transverse portion have an enlarged extent along a depth axis, and

wherein at least one of the first transverse portion or the second transverse portion forms the seat region at least in portions.

4. The seat arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the seat arrangement comprises two frame elements which are arranged on the fastening device, wherein the two frame elements are arranged next to one another along a width axis, wherein the two frame elements can be pivoted independently of one another about a common pivot axis extending along the width axis relative to the fastening device.

5. The seat arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein only one mounting shaft is provided, wherein the mounting shaft extends at least over an entire width of the two frame elements, wherein the mounting shaft is received in at least two receiving devices of the fastening device, wherein each of the receiving devices is arranged on a fastening element, wherein at least one fastening element comprises an arm element extending along the height axis.

6. The seat arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one frame element comprises an upper region for supporting a back of a passenger and at least one seat region integrated in the at least one frame element.

7. The seat arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one frame element can be pivoted relative to the fastening device about a pivot axis extending along a width axis.

8. The seat arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein the seat arrangement only comprises one frame element, and

wherein the frame element is arranged between the first and second receiving devices of the fastening device.

9. The seat arrangement accordingly to claim 3 , wherein the seat region and the upper region of the at least one frame element are formed integrally to one another.

10. The seat arrangement accordingly to claim 3 , wherein the seat region and the upper region of the at least one frame element are formed from multiple pieces.

11. A seat arrangement for a means of transport, in particular for a means of passenger transport, the seat arrangement comprising:

a fastening device, including:

a base element;

a first fastening element, wherein the first fastening element includes a first arm element that extends from the base element along a height axis;

a second fastening element, wherein the second fastening element includes a second arm element that extends from the base element along the height axis;

a first receiving device, wherein the first receiving device is disposed at an end of the first fastening element opposite the base element;

a second receiving device, wherein the second receiving device is disposed at an end of the second fastening element opposite the base element,

wherein the fastening device can be joined to the means of transport at the base element;

at least one frame element; and

at least one mounting shaft, wherein the at least one frame element is joined to the fastening device by the at least one mounting shaft,

wherein a first portion of the at least one mounting shaft is received in at least one of the first and second receiving devices,

wherein the seat arrangement is intended and suitable for providing a sitting position at standing height,

wherein the at least one frame element can be pivoted relative to the fastening device about a pivot axis extending along a width axis,

wherein the at least one frame element is pivotable into a first pivoting position in which the at least one frame element extends substantially perpendicular to an imaginary plane that extends parallel to a floor of the means of transport,

wherein at least one frame element is pivotable into a second pivoting position in which the at least one frame element is inclined relative to the first pivoting position by a first angle of inclination,

wherein at least one frame element is pivotable into a third pivoting position in which the at least one frame element is inclined relative to the first pivoting position by a second angle of inclination,

wherein at least one frame element is inclined in directions opposite along a depth axis in the second pivoting position and the third pivoting position, and

wherein the first angle of inclination and the second angle of inclination preferably have the same amount.

12. The seat arrangement according to claim 11 , wherein only one mounting shaft is provided, wherein the mounting shaft extends through a through channel of the at least one frame element, and wherein the mounting shaft is non-rotatably connected to the fastening device.

13. The seat arrangement according to claim 11 , wherein in the second pivoting position of the at least one frame element, a first seat region is formed at least by a first transverse portion, wherein, in the third pivoting position of the at least one frame element, a second seat region is formed at least by a second transverse portion, wherein, in the second pivoting position of the at least one frame element, the first seat region extends substantially parallel to a first imaginary plane, wherein, in the third pivoting position of the at least one frame element, the second seat region extends substantially parallel to the first imaginary plane.
