A cylinder head (1) for an internal combustion engine with liquid cooling and a liquid-cooled exhaust manifold (8) and which is arranged integrally with the cylinder head (1) includes at least one first and one second cooling chamber (4, 9) through which a coolant flows, and with the region of the exhaust manifold (8) being enclosed at least partly by the second cooling chamber. In order to ensure by way of simple production the optimal removal of heat from thermally critical regions, the first and second cooling chambers are flow-connected via at least one borehole (10) with one another.
