A an energy storage cell includes an electrode-separator assembly comprising an anode, a cathode, and a separator in a form of a cylindrical winding having two terminal end faces and a winding shell. An anode current collector includes a first longitudinal edge, and a cathode current collector includes a first longitudinal edge. The energy storage cell also includes a tubular housing portion in which the cylindrical winding is aligned axially. An at least partly metallic contact element with a circular edge is in direct contact with and connected the first longitudinal edge of the anode current collector or the first longitudinal edge of the cathode current collector. The energy storage cell further includes an annular seal made of an electrically insulating material that surrounds the circular edge of the contact element. The contact element together with the seal closes a terminal circular opening of the tubular housing portion.
