Abstract: A contacting system for electrically interconnecting a plurality of energy storage cells of an electrical energy storage device, and an energy storage device such as, for example, a traction battery. The contacting system has cell pole connectors, formed for the electrical interconnection of in each case at least two cell poles of the energy storage cells respectively having at least two cell pole contact elements. At least one of the cell pole connectors has at least one board contact element, which is formed for the contacting of an electronic circuit and is connected in an electrically conducting manner to one of the cell pole contact elements of the cell pole connector by way of a contacting web. The contacting web has at least one web segment extending obliquely in relation to a cell pole contacting plane of the cell pole contact element.
