Abstract
A cabin air filter is provided with a filter element receptacle and a filter element having a fold pack. The fold pack has a first fold pack area having a fold height that is greater than the fold height of a second fold pack area. The filter element is inserted in an insertion direction into the filter element receptacle. The second fold pack area may form a sword that extends in the insertion direction away from a face of the filter element. The filter element has lateral strips that close off the fold pack on at least two sides of the fold pack. The sword is preferably inherently stable so that it can transmit compressive forces from the filter element to the receptacle.
