Abstract

A hydraulic vehicle brake system, which has a brake pressure signal generator which can be activated by a brake activation device, wherein the brake pressure signal generator can be connected to wheel brakes of the vehicle via at least one hydraulic line and is composed essentially of a master brake cylinder and a hydraulic booster which is connected upstream and which has a return flow chamber and a boosting chamber, a working piston arranged therein and a control piston, wherein the working piston is operatively connected in the force outputting direction to a master brake cylinder piston via an activation element, and a hydraulic pressure of a hydraulic pressure source can be applied to the booster via an inlet for the purpose of boosting braking force, wherein an outlet of the booster can be connected to a reservoir vessel.
