The invention relates to a positioning device (20) and a method for using the positioning device (20) when producing a construction material body made of a construction material (B). The positioning device (20) is configured to hold a reinforcement body (21) preferably consisting of a textile reinforcement and to arrange and orient it by means of the positioning device (20) within a formwork (22). To this end the positioning device comprises a first holding part group (29) and a second holding part group (30), which are arranged on a main body (27). At least one of the two holding part groups (29, 30) is movable between a holding position (I) and a release position (II), for example by a linear movement and/or a pivot movement. In the holding position (I) each holding part (31) acts on an associated location of engagement (56) on the reinforcement body (21). In the release position (II) the distance of the holding parts (31) from one another is different from the distance of the locations of engagement (56) on the reinforcement body (21), such that the positioning device (20) is brought into engagement with the reinforcement body (21) or can be removed from the reinforcement body (21). In the release position (II) an independent handling of the positioning device (20) relative to the reinforcement body (21) is made possible. In order to switch between the holding position (I) and the release position (II), a manually actuatable and/or automatically actuatable actuation device (46) is provided.
