A proportional pressure control valve serves as a direct control valve with a pressure reducing function and a pressure holding function. The valve, includes a valve housing (2) with inlet and outlet . ports (4, 5, 6), a control element (7) which has a feedback facility, an armature rod (15) and a proportional magnet (3). The proportional magnet is comprised of a magnet core (17), a magnet armature (16) and a magnet coil (18), wherein this proportional magnet (3) in its operational range possesses a nearly constant magnetic force. In accordance with the invention, in a holding position of the magnet armature (16), the smallest axial space (21) between the magnet armature (16) and the magnet core (17) is so dimensioned, first, that the magnetic force between these two components (16, 17) when in the holding position is greater than the magnetic force in the operational zone of the proportional magnets (3), and second, that the magnet armature (16) can be fixed in the holding position by this magnetic force.
