A reversing valve having a valve body which separates two working spaces which are filled with a fluid. Passage openings are arranged in the valve body and are covered at least partially by a number of valve plates. The cross sectional passage of the passage openings is controlled by a reversing plate as a function of the direction of flow. The reversing plate has spring sections which extend in the circumferential direction and at least one cover surface. The at least one cover surface is aligned with at least one passage opening. The spring sections of the reversing plate are supported on a securing plate.
