Sterilising container and control device

A sterilization container for medical purposes, the sterilization container comprising:

• a bottom element;
• a lid which is fixable to the bottom element and which, in a closed state of the lid, together with the bottom element defines an inner region of the sterilization container;
• a media exchange mechanism configured to selectively open and close, in the closed state of the lid, at least one fluid-mechanical connection between the inner region and surroundings via a filter that is air-permeable or gas-permeable but impermeable to germs;
• a control apparatus configured to control the media exchange mechanism;
• and
• a ventilation apparatus configured to convey a first medium in the inner region and a second medium in the surroundings of the sterilization container to the media exchange mechanism,
• the control apparatus being configured to control the media exchange mechanism and the ventilation apparatus in such a way that the at least one fluid-mechanical connection is open when the first medium in the inner region is conveyed into the surroundings and is closed when the second medium in the surroundings is conveyed into the inner region via the filter.
