The invention relates to a crane, in particular a rotary tower crane, comprising a lifting cable configured to run out from a crane boom and comprises a load receiving component, drive devices configured to move multiple crane elements and displace the load receiving component, a controller configured to control the drive devices such that the load receiving apparatus is displaced along a movement path, and a pendulum damping device configured to dampen pendulum movements of the load receiving apparatus and/or of the lifting cable. The pendulum damping device comprises a pendulum sensor system configured to detect pendulum movements of at least one of the lifting cable and the load receiving component and a regulator module comprising a closed control loop configured to influence the actuation of the drive devices depending on a pendulum sensor system signal returned to the control loop.
