The invention relates to an electronically controllable pneumatic 
brake system (100), comprising: at least two 
brake circuits (A, B, C), wherein at least one of the at least two 
brake circuits (A, B,C) is assigned an electrically and pneumatically controllable control valve (11, 13) for specifying brake pressures (p1, p2, p3, p4, pPB) for controlling wheel brakes (1, 2, 3, 4) of the associated brake circuit (A, B, C); and a first 
control unit (110), which is designed to electrically control the control valve (11, 13) in question in accordance with a vehicle target deceleration (zSoll) requested in an automated manner or in accordance with an actuation (ds) specified by the driver by means of an actuation device (24a). According to the invention, at least one 
bypass valve (21) associated with a control valve (11, 13) is also provided, which 
bypass valve is designed to pneumatically (pA, pB) control the associated control valve (11, 13), wherein the pneumatic control (pA, pB) is performed in accordance with the vehicle target deceleration (zSoll) requested in an automated manner or in accordance with the actuation (ds) specified by the driver.
