The invention relates to a filter element comprising a filter medium ( 10 ) extending between two end caps ( 12, 14 ) that are respectively connected to an associable end region ( 16, 18 ) of the filter medium ( 10 ), supported at least on one side on a supporting tube ( 20 ). The fact that at least one of the end caps ( 14 ) and/or at least one end region ( 16, 18 ) of the filter medium ( 10 ) comprises a contacting device ( 22 ) and/or the respective end cap ( 14 ) itself or parts thereof are embodied in such a way as to derive the electrostatic charges especially occurring during the operation of the filter element ensures that the charge generated on the filter medium (Meshpack) by tribo-electrical effects can escape towards a mass point or a mass site via the contacting device ( 22 ) or the respective end cap ( 14 ).
