A transparent pane with an electrical heating layer, which extends at least over a part of the pane surface and can be electrically connected to a power source via connection means is described. The transparent pane has connection means having a strip-shaped first bus bar and a strip-shaped second bus bar, which are electrically conductively connected directly to the heating layer over the entire strip length. A method for producing such a transparent pane is also described. In the method the zone heating element is electrically conductively connected directly to at least one first flat ribbon cable and to at least one second flat ribbon cable in an electrical parallel circuit with respect to the heating field.
