Abstract
An electrical brake system for a motor vehicle is provided that may include an integrated electrical auxiliary brake. The wheel brakes of the brake system may be actuated via brake application devices. The internal friction can be selectively increased through an electrical auxiliary brake to create a self-locking of the brake application device with an increased brake application force.
