Abstract: A stator for an electric motor is provided, the stator comprising a hollow cylindrical stator yoke and comprising a stator star arranged within the stator yoke and including a plurality of radially outwardly extending stator teeth having tips contacting, in the assembled state, corresponding connection positions on the inner circumference of the stator yoke, wherein the stator yoke and the stator star are each formed by a laminated metal sheet pack, wherein the metal sheet pack of the stator star comprises sheet metal layers of stator sheets, closed in the circumferential direction, comprising stator teeth connected with each other via pole shoe bridges and sheet metal layers of individual stator teeth spaced with respect to each other in the circumferential direction. Each of the pole shoe bridges may have at least one material recess extending in the radial direction.
