Housing for airbag module

A housing for an airbag module is provided. In an inactivated basic position, the folded airbag is provided laterally adjacent to the gas generator. The airbag is connected to the gas generator via at least one gas channel. The housing includes an airbag-accommodating space and laterally adjacent, but separated from the airbag-accommodating space, a gas-generator-accommodating space. An airbag emergence opening is formed in a wall of the airbag-accommodating space and covered with a covering device. The at least on gas channel is, at least partially, an integral component of the housing wall and extends from the gas-generator-accommodating space to a lower housing wall area of the airbag-accommodating space opposite the covering device in order to introduce gas into the airbag from below in the airbag emergence direction.
