The invention relates to a clutch arrangement in radially nested design. Known in the prior art is a clutch arrangement which comprises a radial outer multiple disk clutch having outer disks and inner disks and a radial inner multiple disk clutch having outer disks and inner disks, where the radial outer multiple disk clutch and the radial inner multiple disk clutch have a common disk support, which supports the outer disks of the radial inner multiple disk clutch and the inner disks of the radial outer multiple disk clutch. According to the invention, a common endplate is provided for the radial inner multiple disk clutch and the radial outer multiple disk clutch. Alternatively or in addition, the invention provides that the common disk support has a hollow cylindrical section with a meander-like cross section, so that on the outer peripheral side an outer toothing is formed for the accommodation of an inner toothing of the inner disks of the radial outer multiple disk clutch and on the inner peripheral side an inner toothing is formed for the accommodation of an outer toothing of the outer disks of the radial inner multiple disk clutch.
