A vacuum brake booster comprising:
- at least one movable wall which separates a working chamber and a vacuum chamber in the vacuum brake booster from one another, and
- a control valve unit which is coupled to the at least one movable wall,
- wherein the control valve unit comprises a guide sleeve and an actuating piston which is guided displaceably in the control valve unit and which is actuatable by means of a force input member which is in particular couplable to a brake pedal,
- wherein the actuating piston has at least one first valve seat which, in the opened state, serves for connecting the working chamber to the surrounding atmosphere,
- wherein the actuating piston has a first flow control portion, which projects in the direction of the guide sleeve, and the guide sleeve has a second flow control portion, which projects in the direction of the actuating piston,
- wherein the first flow control portion and the second flow control portion interact for the purposes of controlling the air stream flowing to the first valve seat.
