Abstract

A filter element (10) comprises filter bellows (16), in particular open filter bellows made of a filter medium (18), which has an oncoming flow side (28) and an outgoing flow side (30) for the fluid to be filtered. The filter element (10) is disposed in the filter housing (11) in such a way that it separates at least one inlet (15) from at least one outlet (17). An element axis (14) of the filter element (10) and a housing axis (25) of the filter housing (11) may be aligned in parallel with or axially to the installation direction (12) in the filter housing (11) for installing the filter element (10). The filter element (10) has at least one outer support section (38), which protrudes axially beyond the filter bellows (16) on the oncoming flow side (28) or the outgoing flow side (30) with respect to the element axis (14) and protrudes into an axial projection of the oncoming flow side (28) or the outgoing flow side (30) with respect to the element axis (14).In addition, a respective filter housing (11) and/or a respective filter (13) is/are described.
