    Abstract: In a device for mounting an engine bearing of an internal combustion engine, a bracket is provided for attachment to an end face of a cylinder head of the internal combustion engine. The bracket includes a contact area to rest against the end face of the cylinder head, and further includes an angular component with a first arm as the mounting for the engine bearing and a second arm, formed integrally therewith, as an auxiliary unit carrier, thereby forming an engine bearing console with an integrated auxiliary unit carrier.
