Abstract
The invention relates to a door hinge with a holder for motor vehicle doors, wherein the door hinge comprises a pillar bracket attachable at a motor vehicle and a door bracket connectable with the motor vehicle door, said door bracket being connected with said pillar bracket via a hinge pin arranged at one bracket in an anti-rotational manner and rotatably arranged in the other bracket, said holder comprising a stop member carrier connected in an anti-rotational manner with the hinge pin and an engagement element supported so as to be rotatable together with the other bracket relative to said stop member carrier, said engagement element having at least one stop mark on a surface facing the stop member carrier, wherein at least one stop member biased by a spring element is arranged on the stop member carrier in such a way that it can be brought into engagement with the surface of the engagement element facing the stop member carrier. In order to provide a door hinge wherein the spring force acting on the stop members is essentially the same in all opening positions, the holder comprises at least two spring biased stop members, wherein the spring element presses at its ends on two neighboring or opposite stop members arranged on the stop member carrier.
