In order to provide a trailer coupling for motor vehicles comprising a bearing element, a towing element which can be pivoted in relation to the bearing element between an operative position and a rest position and displaced in the direction of the pivot axis between a pivoting position and a fixing position and a fixing device, with which the towing element can be fixed in position on the bearing element, with a simplified fixing of the towing element on the bearing element it is suggested that the towing element have a bearing member, that the bearing element have a receiving member, in which the bearing member engages at least in the fixing position and in relation to which the bearing member can be moved between the pivoting position and the fixing position in a direction of displacement and vice versa, and that the fixing device have a blocking device which blocks the bearing member with respect to any movement in the direction of displacement relative to the receiving member and has at least one blocking member arranged in one of the elements and movable from a release position in the direction of a blocking position acted upon by a force and at least one blocking surface which is arranged on the other one of the elements and behind which the blocking member engages in the blocking position.
