The device has a water-tight foil trough/channel (5) in the ground and a collector line (9) connected via feed and return lines (4) to a heating system heat pump (2) or an industrial system heat exchanger. The trough/channel is filled with water and filler (10) and covered by a water-conducting resistive top. The collector line is laid at the level of the lower third of the trough/channel. The filler material is a material forming a bearing layer and a large hollow volume. Zur Erhöhung der Wasser führenden Anteile des Füllstoffes wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Folienwanne (5) oder die Folienrinne (18) mit einer wasserdurchlässigen und widerstandsfähigen Deckelwand (8) abgedeckt ist, die Kollektorleitung (9, 9') in Höhe des unteren Drittels der Folienwanne (5) oder der Folienrinne (18) angeordnet ist und der Füllstoff (10) aus einem eine tragfähige Schicht und einen großen Hohlraum bildenden Material besteht.
