The embodiments of invention relate to a hot runner nozzle including at least one nozzle duct for a plasticized plastic, which ends in a nozzle tip and which can be temperature-controlled by a heater, wherein the hot runner nozzle can be attached to an injection molding tool or the like and wherein the heater and the nozzle duct are provided in a common housing of the hot runner nozzle laterally next to one another. The housing encompasses at least one material recess, which divides the housing adjacent to the nozzle duct and adjoining to the heater into housing regions, which are spaced apart from one another.
