Abstract: A rotation damper for damping movement of a component includes a transmission element couplable to the component such that the transmission element is rotated during movement of the component, and including a rotatingly mounted rotor and also braking device which brakes a rotational movement of the rotor. A coupler couples the transmission element and the rotor for conjoint rotation in a first direction of rotation and decouples the same in a second, opposite direction of rotation. The coupler includes a support element on with an engagement element that is pivotable between an engagement position and a release position. The engagement element has at least one coupling portion, and the transmission element has at least one coupling portion which is in engagement with the at least one coupling portion of the engagement element. The coupling portions are formed in a complementary manner with respect to each other.
