3. The base according to claim 1 , wherein the transport surface basically has the shape of a lateral surface of a conical frustum.
4. The base according to claim 1 , wherein the base includes a top element and a bottom element that are releasably or unreleasably connected to each other, and the top element borders the receiving region in the direction of a top side, and the bottom element borders the receiving region in the direction of a base side.
5. The base according to claim 1 , wherein a projecting region is arranged on the base side, and a recessed region is arranged on the top side and is designed to be complementary to the projecting region such that a projecting region of a substantially identical second base is insertable in the recessed region.
6. The base according to claim 1 , wherein the base includes at least one primary support element that has an elastically deformable first partial body and at least one second partial body, including a ceramic material, arranged on the first partial body.
7. The base according to claim 6 , wherein the base includes at least one secondary support element, wherein in an unloaded state, the primary support element extends farther out of a base plane of the base than the secondary support element.
8. The base according to claim 1 , wherein the base includes a support tube designed basically as a hollow cylinder that is arranged on the base concentrically to a longitudinal axis of the base, wherein the support tube is held in the base by at least one adapter apparatus designed at least approximately as a hollow cylinder.
9. The base according to claim 1 , wherein the base includes a base surface provided for being arranged on a bearing surface and a receiving surface substantially opposite the base surface, and wherein a receiving apparatus including at least one groove is arranged in the region of the receiving surface for receiving a hollow cylinder.
10. The base according to claim 9 , wherein the base comprises a hollow cylinder that is received in the receiving apparatus, and wherein the base includes a table top arranged on an end section of the hollow cylinder facing away from the base.
11. The base according to claim 1 , wherein the holding device includes at least one adapter apparatus for holding the object to be erected, wherein the adapter apparatus includes at least one radially acting clamping device, and wherein a radial dimension of the clamping device is adjustable basically smoothly.
12. The base according to claim 11 , wherein the clamping apparatus includes at least one first clamping element, coupleable to the base, and at least one second clamping element arrangeable radially between the first clamping element and the object to be erected, wherein the first clamping element includes a first contact surface, and the second clamping element includes a second contact surface, wherein the first and second contact surfaces touch at least sectionally, and wherein a touching surface includes an area of at least about 20 mm 2 .
13. The base according to claim 12 , wherein at least one of the first and second contact surface is designed to be mostly flat, at least sectionally.
14. The base according to claim 12 , wherein at least one surface of at least one clamping element has a geometry of an Euler spiral, at least sectionally.
15. A ballast weight for weighing down the base according to claim 1 , comprising a plurality of ballast elements that are flexibly connectable to each other, wherein
at least two ballast elements are connected to each other by at least one connector, the ballast elements each including a through-hole, the at least one connector going through the respective through-holes of the respective ballast elements.
16. The base according to claim 1 , further comprising with a ballast weight comprising a plurality of ballast elements that are flexibly connectable to each other, wherein
at least two ballast elements are connected to each other by at least one connector, the ballast elements each including a through-hole, the at least one connector going through the respective through-holes of the respective ballast elements, wherein the ballast weight is arranged in the receiving position.
