INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE HAVING AT LEAST ONE CYLINDER

The invention relates to a cylinder head (1) for an internal combustion engine having at least one cylinder (16) with a top-down cooling system, comprising a first sub-cooling-chamber (2) delimiting an intermediate deck (4) and at a distance from the combustion chamber, and a second sub-cooling-chamber (3) delimiting a fire deck (5) and close to the combustion chamber, wherein the intermediate deck (4) is arranged between the first sub-cooling-chamber (2) and the second sub-cooling-chamber (3), and wherein at least one preferably annular first transfer opening (11) between the first sub-cooling-chamber (2) and the second sub-cooling-chamber (3) is arranged in the region of a central receiving space (10) for an injection or ignition device, wherein preferably the central receiving space (10) is formed concentrically relative to a cylinder axis (16a) of the cylinder. In order to improve cooling the parts of the cylinder head (1) with high levels of thermal stress, according to the invention, at least one second
