An electric exhaust gas valve device () controls a flow cross section () of an exhaust pipe () of an exhaust system () of an internal combustion engine. The valve device includes an electric drive () driving a driven shaft () rotatingly about an axis of rotation (). An exhaust gas valve () has a drive shaft () aligned coaxially to and rotatable about the axis of rotation for controlling the cross section. A coupling device () transmits torques between the driven shaft and the drive shaft and includes a connection element connected to the drive shaft, a transmission element () connected to the driven shaft and the connection element with a prestressing spring () supported axially on the connection element and/or on the drive shaft as well as on the transmission element and axially driving the transmission element against the driven shaft to reduce thermal load.
