An active elastic mount for the insulated mounting of an assembly affected by vibration, in particular an internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle, includes an active decoupling system disposed on an insulated side of the mount. The active decoupling system has a permanent magnetic field. A coil vibrates in the permanent magnetic field. A decoupler mass is coupled to the coil for high-frequency vibration. A sensor detects predetermined operating parameters as a function of which the decoupler mass can be set into vibration electrodynamically. Two radially rigid, mutually parallel spring systems extend transversely to the coil and elastically suspend the coil for exact vertical guidance of the coil.
