The invention relates to a tapered roller bearing comprising at least one conical outer roller track, at least one conical inner roller track and tapered rollers which are arranged in a radial manner between the roller tracks and about the longitudinal central axis of the tapered roller bearing. The tapered rollers respectively comprise a conical first covering surface for carrying out an effective radial connection towards the outside in the rolling contact with the inner roller track and for carrying out an effective radial connection towards the inside in the rolling contact with the outer roller track and the central lines of the tapered rollers intersect in a common intersecting point on the longitudinal central axis.
