Motor vehicle door latch

A method for opening a motor vehicle door latch including a rotary latch, which encompasses a closing element when in the closed position, and is preloaded toward one of the releasing open positions of the closing element, a safety catch, which is engaged with the rotary latch in an engagement position in such a manner that the rotary latch is prevented from moving toward the open position, and a drive element, with which a coupling section of the safety catch is dynamically coupled, and which moves the safety catch between the engagement position and a releasing position, in which the safety catch is not engaged with the rotary latch, such that the rotary latch can move toward the open position,

• disengaging the safety catch and the rotary latch for the opening, in that at least sections of the safety catch are pivoted away from the rotary latch,
• moving the safety catch by the drive element during the movement from the engagement position toward the releasing position in such a manner that the rotary latch, which is still engaged with the safety catch during said movement, is moved toward the open position.
