The invention pertains to a rivet joint arrangement (1) comprising a rivet element for producing a rivet joint between at least two workpieces, particularly between at least two sheet metal components, wherein the rivet element features a rivet shaft section (that is at least sectionally realized in the form of a hollow rivet and a rivet flange arranged adjacent thereto along the longitudinal axis (LA) of the rivet element, and wherein the rivet joint is produced by at least sectionally inserting the rivet element into the two preliminary holes in the workpieces, deforming the rivet shaft section into a rivet collar and clamping the two workpieces between the rivet collar and the rivet flange. The rivet flange advantageously is separably connected to the rivet element directly or separably connected to the rivet element via a sleeve element.
