Energy transmission device for wirelessly transmitting electric energy, and method

An energy transmission device for wirelessly transmitting electric energy includes a first capacitance device which has a first and a second capacitance element and a second capacitance device which has a third and a fourth capacitance element. The electric energy can be transmitted from the first capacitance element to the second capacitance element and from the third capacitance element to the fourth capacitance element by way of a capacitive coupling. The motor vehicle component is designed as a motor vehicle windshield, the first capacitance element and the third capacitance element are designed as a motor vehicle windshield guide of the motor vehicle, and the second capacitance element and the fourth capacitance element are formed on a motor vehicle windshield region of the motor vehicle windshield corresponding to the motor vehicle windshield guide.
