Hydraulic
braking system (30) for a land vehicle, with at least one wheel
brake (48, 50) assigned to a wheel of the land vehicle; a master
brake cylinder (36) which is hydraulically connected to the at least one wheel
brake (48, 50), wherein the master brake cylinder (36) is configured to move
hydraulic fluid into the at least one wheel brake (48, 50) when the brake
system (30) is actuated by the driver; a pump (58) whose output is hydraulically connected to the at least one wheel brake (48, 50) and the pump (58) is designed to move
hydraulic fluid into the at least one wheel brake (48, 50); a variety of valve arrangements (42, 44, 46, 54, 56, 60); a
control unit (68) configured to control the pump (58) and the plurality of valve arrangements (42, 44, 46, 54, 56, 60); and an
intermediate storage tank (10) which is hydraulically connected to the at least one wheel brake (48, 50) and an inlet of the pump (58), wherein the
intermediate storage tank (10) includes a return element and is configured to - to accommodate a
hydraulic fluid reserve volume during a
rest state of the brake
system (30), - to provide the pump (58) with the absorbed hydraulic fluid reserve volume during an actuation state for displacement into the at least one wheel brake (48, 50), and the return element comprises a
piston (16) limiting the
intermediate storage (10) and a first spring (22) acting on the
piston (16), characterized in that the restoring element further comprises a second spring (24), wherein the first and the second spring (22, 24) are arranged such that the first spring (22) causes a
restoring force directed in a first direction and the second spring (24) causes a
restoring force directed in a second direction.
