a shaped body extending radially across and axially delimiting the inwardly positioned flow space at the first axial end face, the spaced body including:

a receiving depression formed into to the shaped body and opening only to an axial outer side of the shaped body, the receiving depression closed flow-tight relative to the inwardly positioned flow space; and

a sealing disk of a sealing material arranged directly on the axial outer side of the shaped body, the sealing disk covering the shaped body and closing off the first axial end face of the filter medium body;

wherein the sealing disk is made of a different material than the shaped body;

wherein the sealing disk comprises

a first receiving opening extending axially through the sealing disk and opening into the receiving depression of the shaped body;

wherein the receiving depression of the shaped body and the first receiving opening of the sealing disk are configured to receive a support element.

2. The round filter element according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving depression of the shaped body comprises

a bottom wall positioned axially within the inwardly positioned flow space and closing the receiving depression flow-tight relative to the inwardly positioned flow space.

3. The round filter element according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving depression of the shaped body comprises

an open cross-sectional area and

the first receiving opening of the sealing disk comprises an open cross- sectional area,

wherein the open cross-sectional area of the receiving depression of the shaped body is larger than the open cross-sectional area of the first receiving opening of the sealing disk.

4. The round filter element according to claim 1 , wherein the shaped body comprises

a plurality of said receiving depression and the sealing disk comprises

a plurality of said first receiving opening.

5. The round filter element according to claim 1 , wherein the shaped body is a plastic component.

6. The round filter element according to claim 5 , wherein

the plastic component is an injection molded plastic part.

7. The round filter element according to claim 1 , wherein

the sealing disk is comprised of polyurethane and produced by a casting process,

wherein the sealing disk is joined to the shaped body and the filter medium body by the casting process.

8. The round filter element according to claim 1 , wherein

the sealing disk, adjacent to a rim region of the sealing disk, comprises a second receiving opening and

wherein the shaped body comprises a flow-tight recess extending into the filter medium body,

wherein the second receiving opening of the sealing disk is aligned with the flow- tight recess of the shaped body.

9. The round filter element according to claim 1 , wherein p 1 the filter medium body comprises a folded configuration.

10. The round filter element according to claim 1 , wherein the round filter element comprises

a round cross-sectional shape, an oval cross-sectional shape or an ovalized cross-sectional shape.

11. A filter device comprising:

the round filter element according to claim 1 ; and

a filter housing configured to receive the round filter element.

12. The filter device according to claim 11 , wherein

the filter housing comprises a housing part,

wherein the support element received in the receiving depression of the shaped body and in the first receiving opening of the sealing disk is arranged at the housing part.

13. The filter device according to claim 12 , wherein the filter housing comprises

a filter base housing into which the round filter element is inserted,

wherein the housing part is the bottom of the filter base housing.

14. The filter device according to claim 11 , further comprising

a secondary filter element arranged adjacent to the end disk of the round filter element in the filter housing,

wherein the support element received in the receiving depression of the shaped body and in the first receiving opening of the sealing disk is arranged at the secondary filter element.

15. The filter device according to claim 14 , wherein

the secondary filter element comprises

a secondary filter medium body and

further comprises a support body arranged at the secondary filter medium body,

wherein the support element is arranged at the support body.

16. The round filter element according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a support grid arranged on a radially outer side of the filter medium body,

wherein the support grid extends axially between the oppositely positioned first and second axial end faces of filter medium body;

an annular seal carrier wall formed on the support grid and projecting radially outwardly from the support grid, the annular seal carrier wall arranged axially between and spaced axially away from the first and the second axial end faces of filter medium body; and

a sealing ring arranged on a radially outer rim of the annular seal carrier wall and configured to seal against an interior of a filter housing when in an installed state.
