Abstract

The invention relates to a filter element () for an air filter device of a motor vehicle, having a frame which at least partially surrounds a filter material () of the filter element (). The frame comprises a front wall () which extends perpendicularly to an insertion direction (), in which the filter element () can be inserted into a receiving space () of a housing () of the air filter device. At least one fastening element () is arranged on a front side () of the front wall (), onto which a cover of the air filter device designed to close the receiving space () can be fixed. A plate-shaped base body of the front wall () has a narrow side beyond which a retaining tab () of the filter element () formed separately from the at least one fastening element () projects. The filter element () can be secured against movement in or opposite to the insertion direction () by introducing the retaining tab () into a retaining recess () provided on the side of the housing () of the air filter device. The invention further relates to an air filter device having such a filter element ().
