Abstract
A motor vehicle roof with a front first roof part ( ) and a following second roof part ( ) which can be displaced between a closed position which covers the motor vehicle interior and a lowered position in a rear roof storage space ( ) which exposes the motor vehicle interior. The front roof part ( ) is movably supported by a laterally arranged multiple hinge linkage ( ) on the second roof part ( ) and is raisable over the second roof part ( ) when being lowered. In order to devise a stable and still space-saving support for the front roof part ( ), the rear connecting rod ( ) of the multiple hinge linkage ( ) is supported on the second roof part ( ) to be able to pivot around a pivot axis ( ) which is set back from its front edge ( ) and swings upward out of the roof surface ( ) of the second roof part ( ) when the roof ( ) is being lowered.
