A method or the finite element solution of an elliptic interface problem is given which uses \textit{J. Nitsche}'s method [Abh. Math. Semin. Univ. Hamb. 36, 9--15 (1971; Zbl 0229.65079)]. It allows for discontinuities internal to the elements. The optimal order of convergence holds without restrictions on the location of the interface relative to the mesh. A posteriori error estimates for controlling functionals are derived.
