Abstract

A hydraulic braking system is provided as well as a method, relating to a master brake cylinder, a first brake pressure generator, as well as a wheel brake cylinder. The braking system includes a second brake pressure generator which is connected to the at least one wheel brake cylinder. The master brake cylinder is hydraulically connectable to the at least one wheel brake cylinder via the second brake pressure generator. This has the advantage that a secure braking system may be provided including one additional fallback level, hydraulically via the driver as well as by providing a second, additional brake pressure generator.
