14. The pane according to claim 12 , wherein the fired printing paste has a specific resistance from 0.8 μohm·cm to 7.0 μohm·cm.

15. The pane according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of the first pane is areally bonded to a second pane via a thermoplastic intermediate layer.

16. The pane according to claim 15 , wherein at least one of the first pane and the second pane contains flat glass, float glass, quartz glass, borosilicate glass, soda lime glass, or a polymer.

17. The pane according to claim 1 , wherein the electric heating layer is a transparent, electrically conductive coating.

18. The pane according to claim 17 , wherein the electric heating layer has a sheet resistance from 0.4 ohm/square to 10 ohm/square.

19. The pane according to claim 18 , wherein the electric heating layer contains silver, indium tin oxide, fluorine-doped tin oxide, or aluminum-doped zinc oxide.

20. A method for producing a pane having an electric heating layer, comprising:

applying an electric heating layer having an uncoated zone onto a surface of a pane;

connecting at least two busbars, including a first busbar and a second busbar, to the electric heating layer, the at least two busbars being configured for connection to a voltage source such that a current path for a heating current is formed between the busbars;

introducing least one separating line that electrically subdivides the electric heating layer into at least two segments, the at least one separating line extending from the first busbar to a region below the uncoated zone and does not extend to the second busbar,

wherein at least one segment is arranged in strip form around the uncoated zone such that the current path for the heating current is guided at least partially around the uncoated zone; and

arranging a third busbar in direct electrical contact with the first or second busbar and in electrical contact with the at least one segment, resulting in shortening an average length of the at least one segment.
