The invention relates to a cross member assembly, in particular a floor cross member assembly and/or a footwell cross member assembly, on a vehicle body, having a cross member (4) which extends in the vehicle transverse direction and on which at least one longitudinal member (6), to which force may be applied, in particular in a crash situation, and which essentially extends in the vehicle longitudinal direction, is supported by force in a defined longitudinal member supporting area (13), the cross member assembly having at least one member component (9, 10, 11) which extends away from the cross member (4) diametrically opposed to the longitudinal member (6) to which force may be applied and/or which is connected in a member component connecting area. According to the invention, a defined, force-conducting load path profile (12), which is designed to be elevated and/or recessed in relation to an adjacent surface area of the cross member (4), is provided on the cross member (4) and extends from the longitudinal member supporting area (13) in the direction of or up to at least one member component (9, 10, 11) and forms a defined load path area on the cross member side.
