Abstract
An airbag has two cloth layers disposed next to each other and connected with each other in their outer marginal area. One of the cloth layers has an inflation gas inlet opening. The two cloth layers er are connected with each other by at least one tear seam, which at least partially encloses the discharge opening. The tear seam extends away from the discharge opening and is configured so as to tear open when the airbag is inflated by starting at an end of the tear seam that is closest to the inflation gas inlet opening.
