A method for controlling a hydraulic brake system during a regenerative braking process, wherein a hydraulic fluid is displaced in the direction of a wheel brake by means of a brake cylinder, and wherein the method comprises the steps whereby at least a volume fraction of the hydraulic fluid is conducted via a pressure dissipation valve into an accumulator, an isolation valve is adjusted in the direction of a closed state in order to at least partially hydraulically isolate the wheel brake from the brake cylinder, and at least a volume fraction of the hydraulic fluid is conveyed out of the wheel brake by means of a pump.
