Abstract

A motor vehicle rear includes two longitudinal members, a trunk floor supported by the longitudinal members, a rear wall which adjoins the ends of the longitudinal members and which delimits a trunk opening at the bottom and D pillars which laterally delimit the trunk opening. Lower end sections of the D pillars extend at the height of the longitudinal members beyond outer sides of the two longitudinal members facing away from one another and are anchored on the longitudinal members.
