The present invention relates to a multi-layer capacitor comprising several electrically insulating layers that are stacked on top of one another, in addition to parallel first electrode plates and second electrode plates that are arranged between the insulating layers. The first and second electrode plates are located alternately one on top of the other, separated by an intervening insulating layer. Said capacitor also comprises at least one first connecting line, which extends perpendicularly through the layers, is connected to the first electrode plates and is insulated in relation to the second electrode plates and second connecting lines, which extend perpendicularly through the layers, are connected to the second electrode plates and are insulated in relation to the first electrode plates. The first connecting line extends centrally through the stacked first and second electrode plates and is designed to carry a high-frequency signal.
