Abstract

The invention relates to a trailer coupling for a motor vehicle (18), in particular a passenger motor vehicle, with a main holder (11a-11e) which is fittable or is fitted securely to the vehicle, and a coupling arm, at the free end of which a dome element (14) is arranged for the coupling of a trailer and which, in a use position (G), protrudes to the rear of the motor vehicle (18), wherein the coupling arm is fastenable releasably to the main holder (11a-11e) or is mounted movably between the use position (G) and a non-use position (N) moved towards the motor vehicle (18). In the trailer coupling, the coupling arm for connection to the main holder (11a-11e) has a holder part, which is fixable to the main holder (11a-11e) by means of a main holder fixing device (26a-26e), and a dome part (13a-13c; 13e) on which the dome element (14) is arranged, wherein the holder part (12a-12e) and the dome part (13a-13c; 13e) are connectable releasably to each other by means of a connecting device which serves as an arm connecting device (55a-55c; 55e) and has a first connecting body (57) and a second connecting body (58)which is connectable releasably to the first connecting body (57).
