Abstract: Gasket, comprising at least one through-opening to be sealed, at least one elastomeric sealing element associated with the through-opening, and a carrier for the sealing element, wherein the sealing element comprises at least one flexible sealing lip enclosing the through-opening in the form of a projection protruding in the direction of the through-opening axis, and embedded in the sealing element is at least one stiff inlay, which projects in the direction of the through-opening axis beyond a carrier area adjacent to the inlay; in order that the sealing element, while in operation, will not be damaged due to high stresses or will not become detached in some areas from the carrier, the inlay surrounds the through-opening in the shape of a ring and without interruption and forms a supporting element which supports the sealing element radially around the through-opening.
