A micromechanical component including a mass structure which may be deflected with respect to a substrate with the aid of at least one spiral spring in a direction of deflection. The spiral spring includes at least one folding section, which is formed by two spring legs which are situated essentially in parallel to each other and are connected to each other with the aid of a connecting bar. A damping device for oscillating movements of the folding section in the direction of deflection is provided in the area of the connecting bar.
