A multi-part stator for an electric machine is provided. The multi-part stator has a plurality of stator segments, each comprising a plurality of soft magnetic lamination sheets that are stacked one on top of another in a direction of stacking to form a laminated core. At least one lamination sheet projects on at least one edge side of the laminated core of a first stator segment and forms a finger. At least two lamination sheets project on at least one edge side of the laminated core of a second stator segment and form at least two fingers. The finger of the first stator segment and the at least two fingers of the second stator segment engage with one another in order to mechanically couple the first stator segment to the second stator segment.
