Disclosed are a flat filter member (34) of a filter (10) for filtering a fluid, air, fuel, oil, or water in particular, of an internal combustion engine in particular, an automobile internal combustion engine in particular, the filter (10), and support-/position adjusting bodies (72, 74, and 76). The flat filter member (34) includes a filter medium (64) that has an inflow side non-refined surface (62) and a discharge side refined surface (58). A member sealing portion (77) surrounds and encloses the filter medium (64) in a circumferential direction on the non-refined surface(62), on the refined surface (58), or between the non-refined surface(62) and the refined surface (58). The member sealing portion (77) serves to support a sealing structure (78) that seals the non-refined surface (62) with respect to the refined surface (58) when the flat filter member (34) is arranged in a filter housing (12) of the filter (10). Some of the one or more of the support-/position adjusting bodies (72, 74, and 76) can be supported by at least the sealing structure (78) and the others can be supported by the filter housing (12) so that the position of at least the sealing structure (78) is adjusted and maintained in the filter housing (12).
