Brake lining arrangement with wear indicator, comprising a planar lining carrier with a brake lining attached to a substantially plane holding surface, wherein the wear indicator has a supporting section, with which it is supported on the lining carrier, and an indicator section which extends beyond the holding surface in such a manner that it overlaps the material thickness of the brake lining and indicates a lining wear limit value, wherein the indicator section and supporting section are connected to each other via a transition section, wherein the transition section has a transition section axis. According to the invention, it is provided that the transition section axis is inclined at an acute angle to the holding surface.
