An axial plain bearing comprising a plurality of slide shoes (2) which are arranged annularly about a bearing axis of rotation, each slide shoe (2) being provided with an annular peripheral recess (52) on an outer circumference thereof, the annular peripheral recess (52) dividing the slide shoe (2) into a sliding pad (4) provided with a sliding surface (10), and, on an end of the slide shoe (2) opposite the sliding pad (4), a saucerlike compression spring (8) having a diameter greater than the diameter of the sliding pad (4) to protrude radially beyond the sliding pad (4), the sliding pad (4), the saucerlike compression spring (8) and a connecting part (6) connecting the sliding pad (4) and compression spring (8) in the center of the recess (52) together consisting essentially of an integral piece of plastic, the slide shoes (2) being arranged side by side such that the radially protruding compression springs (8) of adjacent slide shoes (2) maintain clearance between sliding pads (4) of said adjacent slide shoes (2).
