NOVELTY - The method comprises: providing a substrate (10) having a first end surface (12), a second end surface (14) and flow channels (16), which pass through the substrate from the first end surface to the second end face; placing the substrate in such a way that the flow channels are aligned in an angle of inclination to vertical; and introducing a suspension and/or solution (40) in the flow channels starting from the first end surface. The flow channels are parallely arranged to each other, where the angle of inclination is 90 degrees and is adjusted in a range of 45-90 degrees or in a range of 70-90 degrees .    USE - The method is useful for coating a catalyst shaped body of a catalyst, which is useful for emission control, stationary and/or mobile emission control, operating fuel cells and SHIFT-reactions and/or reforming (all claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The method is capable of effectively and economically coating the catalyst shaped body.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The method comprises: providing a substrate (10) having a first end surface (12), a second end surface (14) and flow channels (16), which pass through the substrate from the first end surface to the second end face; placing the substrate in such a way that the flow channels are aligned in an angle of inclination to vertical; and introducing a suspension and/or solution (40) in the flow channels starting from the first end surface. The flow channels are parallely arranged to each other, where the angle of inclination is 90 degrees , and is adjusted in a range of 45-90 degrees or in a range of 70-90 degrees . The suspension and/or solution: contains a catalytic active component or a precursor of a catalytic active component; and is introduced in the flow channel over the second end face or up to a filling limit, which is reached between first and the second end face and/or passes transverse or perpendicular to the flow channels. The introducing step is performed by pumping the suspension and/or solution into the flow channels. A counteracting pressure is produced in the flow channels. The suspension and/or solution has a viscosity of greater than 1 Pa seconds. The flow channels are closed at the second end surface. The counteracting pressure is applied to the flow channels coming from or adjacent to the second end surface. A capillary system is arranged before the first end surface and/or adjacent to the first end surface. The method further comprises: deriving an excess suspension and/or solution from the flow channels; drying the coated substrate; calcining the coated substrate at 300-900 degrees C under air, vacuum, protective gas, inert gas or argon; and transferring the precursor of the catalytic active component into the catalytic active component. Element selected from the suspension, the substrate and the flow channels comprises a support material. The support material is an open-pore and/or inorganic support material. The substrate is the element selected from the shaped body with parallel flow channels, a honeycomb body, a cordierite honeycomb, a silicon carbide honeycomb, an aluminum titanate honeycomb and a metal honeycomb. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a catalyst.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The diagram shows a schematic view of a catalyst shaped body.
