In a very recent experimental campaign performed with the Penning trap spectrometer SHIPTRAP at GSI the superheavy isotopes ²⁵⁷Rf and ²⁵⁸Db were investigated despite their low production rates. The masses of the ground state and isomeric states as well as for several nuclides with Z=82−98 were directly measured with high accuracy.

Valuable information on the nuclear shell structure, its strength and evolution in the region of the heaviest elements can be directly derived from our experimental findings.The latter, therefore, complement results achieved in decay spetroscopy studies. Furthermore, such accurate masses in the vicinity of the superheavy element region serve as anchor points to determine the masses of heavier nuclei which are crucial for nuclear models attempting to pinpoint the position of the predicted island of stability.

In this contribution an overview of the results will be given.
