8. The temporary retaining device according to claim 1 , wherein the load arm comprises a contact surface which is provided adjacently to the retaining lug for interaction with a stop part.

9. The temporary retaining device according to claim 1 wherein a projection of the load arm on a plane of the flat portion defines an acute angle with respect to the flat portion.

10. A vehicle hinge comprising

a first hinge part having a fastening surface for connecting to one of a door and a door frame, wherein the first hinge part comprises at least one cantilever in which a hinge eye is arranged, wherein a stop part is arranged on a surface of the cantilever,

a second hinge part; and

a hinge pin which passes through the first hinge part and the second hinge part and connects the first hinge part and the second hinge part to one another, so that the first hinge part and the second hinge part are pivotable about an axis of rotation, wherein the stop part comprises two legs and a base connectiong the legs protruding from the cantilever.

11. The vehicle hinge according to claim 10 , wherein the stop part is configured as a U-shaped bracket comprising two legs and a base connecting the two legs.

12. The vehicle hinge according to claim 11 , wherein the legs run approximately parallel to the fastening surface of the first hinge part, and wherein one of the two legs of the U-shaped bracket comprises an end face facing away from the base, wherein the end face is configured to interact with a retaining lug of a temporary retaining device.

13. The vehicle hinge according to claim 11 , wherein the U-shaped bracket is arranged with the base of the U-shaped bracket on the cantilever, and wherein a passage is arranged between the two legs of the U-shaped bracket, wherein the passage runs transversely at an angle to a plane of the fastening surface.

14. A retention system for an automobile bodyshell to be painted, the retention system comprising:

an automotive hinge comprising:

a first hinge part having a fastening surface for connecting to one of a door and a door frame, wherein the first hinge part comprises at least one cantilever in which a hinge eye is arranged, wherein a stop part is arranged on a surface of the cantilever;

a second hinge part; and

a hinge bolt which passes through the first hinge part and the second hinge part and connects the first hinge part and the second hinge part to one another, so that the first hinge part and the second hinge part are pivotable about an axis of rotation, wherein the stop part comprises a bracket with two legs protruding from the cantilever,

a temporary retaining device for use in the automotive hinge to temporarily lock a vehicle door in an open position relative to a door frame, the temporary retaining device comprising:

a flat portion in which an opening is arranged;

a fold protruding from an edge of the flat portion; and

a load arm extending from the flat portion,

wherein the load arm comprises a projection formed as a retaining lug on an end facing away from the flat portion,

wherein the hinge bolt pivotably couples the hinge parts and connects the retaining device to the second hinge part, and

wherein the retaining lug is braceable on at least one of said legs of the bracket or an adapter piece connected to the bracket in order to lock the first and second hinge parts in a predetermined opening angle.

15. The retention system according to claim 14 , wherein the fold is coupleable to the second hinge part, and wherein the retaining device and the second hinge part have a same axis of rotation.

16. The retention system according to claim 14 , wherein a retaining force generated by the retaining device in order to temporarily lock a vehicle door in an open position has a torque of 2 Nm to 20 Nm.

17. The retention system according to claim 14 , wherein the stop part is formed by the bracket, the bracket being a U-shaped bracket comprising two legs and a base connecting the two legs.

18. The retention system according to claim 17 , wherein the adapter piece is configured as a double-bent sheet metal part inserted with a central region thereof between the two legs of the U-shaped bracket, and wherein the retaining lug is connectable to an outer part of the double-bent sheet metal part.

19. The retention system according to claim 14 , wherein the projection engages the stop part to temporarily lock the vehicle door in an open position relative to the door frame.

20. The retention system according to claim 14 , wherein the load arm comprises a contact surface which is provided adjacently to the retaining lug for interaction with the stop part.
