A filter element for filtering a fluid is provided with a filter bellows made of a filter medium folded along fold edges in a zigzag shape to form folds, wherein the folds extend between oppositely positioned end face edges of the filter bellows. The filter bellows defines a raw side and a clean side of the filter element, wherein a fluid to be filtered flows from the raw side to the clean side. The filter medium has faces that are flowed through by the fluid to be filtered. The filter medium is provided at least on one of the faces that are flowed through with beads extending transversely to the fold edges. In a proper operating state of the filter bellows, the beads effect a flow of at least a portion of the fluid to be filtered in a direction perpendicular to the fold edges.

A filter element () and a filter device (). The filter element () can be arranged in a filter housing () of the filter device. The filter element () has an annular closed filter medium () connected with at least at one end face with an end member (). An annular anti-drain membrane () opens and closes at least one fluid opening () of the filter housing () and is arranged on the side of the at least one end member () that is facing away from the filter element (). The surface of the contact section () of the anti-drain membrane () has at least one relief-like adhesion disturbance area () for disturbing an adhesion of the anti-drain membrane () to the contact section ().
