Abstract: A filter element for a filtering device used for filtering a fluid may include an annular filter body including a web-like, folded filter material, the filter body enclosing an inner space in the circumferential direction. The filter element may include an inner frame arranged on an inner side of the filter body facing the inner space. The inner frame may have a least one radially outwardly projecting and axially extending alignment strip arranged between two adjacent folds in the filter material in the circumferential direction. The at least one alignment strap may bear against the two adjacent folds.
