Disclosed is a connection between two pipes (1, 2) in which a final section of one pipe overlaps a final section of the other pipe or one respective joining element (3, 4) is inserted into the facing final sections of the pipes (1, 2). The pipes (1, 2) can be screwed together. The final section of the pipe that is overlapped by the other pipe, or at least one joining element (3, 4) that is inserted into a final section (3, 4), is embodied with an area (18, 19) having a lower rigidity than the adjoining subarea at the end facing the interior of the pipe. Said area (18, 19, 30) having a reduced rigidity is embodied with a least one depression or recess (20, 21, 21', 31) on the inner circumference thereof, whereby one is able to ensure that the pipes (1, 2) that are to be interconnected remain undamaged if the same are tilted or inclined relative to each other, even in case forces act eccentrically upon the pipe connection.
