The invention relates to a high-quality, high-temperature superconductor (HTS) inductor (2), in particular for a mobile application. Said inductor contains a ferromagnetic body (3) that conducts a magnetic flux and consists of at least one central core limb (4), two lateral magnetic return limbs (5, 6) running parallel to the central limb and two yoke limbs (7, 8) that magnetically bridge the core limb and the magnetic return limbs. The core limb (4) is surrounded by an HTS winding (9) to be cooled, the current supply lines (10, 11) of said winding penetrating one of the yoke limbs (7) in the vicinity of the cross-sectional area (F) of the adjacent winding (9). The end faces (9a, 9a') of the winding (9) extend almost as far as the respective yoke limb (7, 8).
