A holder for a profiled rail comprising a holding edge and a for carrier component includes a base body, a clamping element, a screw connection, and a rotary joint. The base body comprises a supporting surface configured to have the profiled rail be placed thereon, a holding-down strip which holds down the holding edge against the supporting surface, and a first opening. The clamping element comprises a second opening. The screw connection passes through the first and second opening and is fixable on the carrier component. The rotary joint comprises an axis of rotation arranged parallel to the supporting surface and to the holding-down strip. The clamping element clamps the profiled rail against the base body with the screw connection. On the base body, the clamping element is guided radially with respect to the axis of rotation between an open and a closed pivot position with the rotary joint.
