A clutch device includes a wet-running multiple disc clutch that has a first multiple disc carrier, a second multiple disc carrier, and a multiple disc pack assigned to the first and second multiple disc carrier. The clutch device further includes a first power transmission element on a first axial side of a wall facing away from the multiple disc pack, and a second power transmission element on a second axial side of the wall facing the multiple disc pack for applying an operating power to the multiple disc pack. The second power transmission element has an application section and operating fingers that extend through recesses in the wall to interact with the first power transmission element on the first axial side. The application section protrudes inward in the radial direction over the operating fingers.
