Abstract
A motor vehicle rear end is delimited by a rear bulkhead, side wall regions, and a rear cover. An air separation edge extends on the rear cover in the width direction of the motor vehicle. Lateral rear lights are integrated into the motor vehicle rear end, and include means, which are arranged in the side wall regions, for release of the side wall flow, and which extend at a distance below the air separation edge over a height region of the associated rear light (20) and at a distance from the rear bulkhead. At least one opening, through which air flows, is provided in a covering element arranged at the end of an air duct as a means for release of the side wall flow in both side wall regions.

A motor vehicle rear end, comprising:
- a rear bulkhead and a rear cover which delimit the vehicle rear end;
- an air separation edge which extends on the rear cover in a transverse direction of the motor vehicle;
- rear lights integrated into the motor vehicle rear end;
- and
- air ducts disposed within the rear end adjoining rear end air outlet openings, which air ducts are arranged such that, when the vehicle is being driven, air flows which are guided via the air ducts, to the air outlet openings, and issue there, lead or contribute to the release of air whirls at the vehicle rear end;
- wherein the air outlet openings are arranged in side wall regions of the rear end, at a horizontal distance from the rear bulkhead and a vertical distance below the air separation edge, and extend over a height region of the rear lights.
A rear light for a motor vehicle rear end having a rear bulkhead and a rear cover which delimit the vehicle rear end, an air separation edge which extends on the rear cover in a transverse direction of the motor vehicle, lateral rear lights integrated into the motor vehicle rear end, and air ducts disposed within the rear end adjoining rear end air outlet openings which are arranged such that, when the vehicle is being driven, air flows which are guided via the air ducts to the air outlet openings, and issue there, lead or contribute to the release of air whirls at the rear end;
- wherein:
- said rear light comprises a covering pane having a partial region that, in an installed state of the rear light in the rear end of the vehicle, is integrated into a side wall region of the vehicle rear end;
- and
- said air outlet openings are arranged in the covering pane in said partial region and, in said installed state of the rear light, communicate with air outlet-side ends of air ducts.
