Axle suspension with longitudinal leaf spring for a motor vehicle

An axle suspension for a motor vehicle, comprising:

• a leaf spring made of fiber composite and having ends coupled to the motor vehicle, said leaf spring being constructed in the form of a longitudinal leaf spring and having an attachment zone and two arms extending from the attachment zone to the ends of the leaf spring to define a trailing arm and a leading arm in a travel direction of the motor vehicle, with the trailing arm having a cross sectional dimension which is greater than a cross sectional dimension of the leading arm;
• and
• a clamping device coupling an axle component to the leaf spring substantially in a center of the leaf spring, said clamping device being arranged offset in a longitudinal direction of the leaf spring from the center of the leaf spring, wherein the trailing arm of said leaf spring has a greater cross-sectional height than the leading arm of said leaf spring as considered in a direction which is transverse to the longitudinal direction of the leaf spring and at same distances from the center of the leaf spring.
