Known pressure reducing valves for brake systems of automotive vehicles are provided with a stepped piston and a valve. Upon attainment of the switching pressure the valve is closed and the pressure is reduced at the outlet according to the ratio of surfaces of the stepped piston. These known pressure reducing valves are insecure in their operation, complicated in their structure and expensive in their manufacture. These disadvantages are overcome in accordance with the present invention by providing a valve closing unit including an elastic rubber sealing body disposed at the inlet end of a pressure medium connection in the piston between an inlet chamber and an outlet chamber. When the switching pressure is reached this sealing body closes the pressure medium connection. If the pressure in the outlet chamber is greater then the pressure in the inlet chamber, the sealing body due to its elasticity lifts off the inlet side of the pressure medium connection.
