A hydrodynamic torque converter includes a housing with an interior space and a pump wheel; a turbine wheel installed in the interior space and rotatable about an axis with respect to the housing; and a bridging clutch including a first friction surface formation connected essentially nonrotatably to the converter housing, and a second friction surface formation connected essentially nonrotatably to the turbine wheel. A piston element divides the interior space into a first space containing the turbine wheel and a second space facing away from the first space, wherein a pressure increase in the second space brings the first and second friction formations into frictional engagement to connect the housing to the turbine wheel for rotation in common. Fluid flow openings in the piston element connect the second space to the first space in the radial area of the friction surface formations.
