Valve Bridge for a Valve Train of an Internal Combustion Engine, in Particular of a Motor Vehicle, Valve Train for an Internal Combustion Engine, in Particular of a Motor Vehicle, and Internal Combustion Engine

A valve bridge (42) for a valve train (10) of an internal combustion engine, comprising:

• a bridge operating region (44) via which the valve bridge (42) can be operated by a first rocker arm (32) of the valve train (10) and is movable translationally in a first operating direction (22);
• a first valve operating region (46) via which a first gas exchange valve (18) of the internal combustion engine can be operated by the valve bridge (42) by operating the valve bridge (42);
• and
• a second valve operating region (48) via which a second gas exchange valve (20) of the internal combustion engine can be operated by the valve bridge (42) by operating the valve bridge;
• wherein the first valve operating region (46) has:
• a through opening (56) that is continuous along the first operating direction (22);
• a first longitudinal region (L1) in which the through opening (56) is completely continuously closed in its peripheral direction (58);
• and
• a second longitudinal region (L2) which is directly connected to the first longitudinal region (L1) in the first operating direction (22) and in which the through opening (56) is open along its peripheral direction (58) at a first location (S1) in a first opening direction (60) running perpendicular to the first operating direction (22).

• a first gas exchange valve (18);
• a second gas exchange valve (20);
• a first rocker arm (32);
• and
• a valve bridge (42) shared by the first gas exchange valve (18) and the second exchange valve (20) via which the first gas exchange valve (18) and the second exchange valve (20) can be operated by the first rocker arm (32) and can be moved translationally in a first movement direction (22), wherein the valve bridge (42) has:
• a bridge operating region (44) via which the valve bridge (42) can be operated by the first rocker arm (32) and is movable translationally in a first operating direction (22);
