Abstract: A vehicle window has two individual panes that are bonded by an adhesive layer. A window support has a connection segment, forming a holder, for mechanically connecting to the vehicle window. An electrical contact element that is partially arranged within the holder is fastened to the window support. The electrical contact element, which has the form of a ribbon conductor, serves to electrically contact an electrical counter contact element of the vehicle window. According to one aspect, the electrical contact element is routed, from between the two individual panes, out of the vehicle window, and is fastened to a surface of the vehicle window.
