In a rigid motor vehicle axle comprising an axle body which is hollow in at least some regions and which has two adapter tube sections joined together from half shells along a longitudinal assembly joint by welding, with axle-supporting and axle-guiding components being fastened in the region of the adapter tubee sections, the respective adapter tube section has at least two recesses and at least one connecting element is partially housed and restrained within the hollow regions of the axle and extends outwardly through the recesses with a form fit. The adapter pipe section and the connecting element are connected to each other along an insertion joint with a cohesive material joint, for example, proximate the adapter tube section recesses. In such a vehicle axle, any failure of the material joint does not result in a breakdown so that the vehicle is still operable for some time.
