The present invention relates to a sterilized container which is filled with an infusion solution, to a method and to a plant for producing the sterilized container. The method comprises: the provision of a preform having a hanger arranged on a bottom of the preform, heating the provided preform in a heating device, feeding the heated preform into a stretching and blowing apparatus, stretching and blowing the preform in the stretching and blowing apparatus such that the container for the infusion solution is formed from the preform, cleaning the formed container in a rinsing apparatus, and drying the cleaned container in a drying device, filling the cleaned and dried container at least with an infusion solution, via a filling opening present in the container, in a filling plant, closing the container by attaching a closure cap to the filling opening of the container, sterilizing the closed container in an autoclave, wherein the hanger of the preform is oriented and folded over by a bending apparatus prior to stretching and blowing in the stretching and blowing apparatus. As a result of the folding over of the hanger, the preform can be blown in the stretching and blowing apparatus such that the container formed from the preform has on its underside an integral, preferably pivotable, hanger which is not permanently bonded to the blown main body of the container.
