Abstract: Hydrostatic radial piston unit comprising a front case part accommodating a drive shaft via shaft bearing means so that the drive shaft can rotate around a central axis relative to the front case part. A rear case part is attached on one side to the front case part and closed on another side in order to define an internal volume. A cylinder block is disposed in the internal volume and attached to the drive shaft in a torque proof manner. Axially disposed timing holes in the cylinder block connect radially oriented working volumes in the cylinder block with a cylinder block front face that is arranged perpendicularly to the central axis and faces away from the front case part. Integrally within the rear case part internal annular flow passages are formed and are connected to an inlet and an outlet of the radial piston unit and running basically in circumferential direction around the central axis.
