Summary:In a method of controlling a hydraulic vehicle brake system with active hydraulic brake force boosting, wherein the driver can introduce brake pressure into a master brake cylinder with an actuating device, wherein the pressure introduced by the driver is boosted by an active hydraulic pressure increasing unit, a braking request or a suspected braking request of the driver is determined and, when a braking request or a suspected braking request of the driver is detected, a separating valve that is arranged in a line connecting the master brake cylinder and the hydraulic pressure increasing unit is opened or remains open and the pressure increasing unit is actuated for pressure generation purposes.
