a connection line 61 to the load connection ls and by a relief line 62 to the outflow connection t so that the load pressure and the outflow pressure are present on the relief stage 54 the relief stage 54 compares the load pressure to the outflow pressure and opens as soon as the load pressure on the load connection ls is close to or equal to the outflow pressure on the outflow connection t a bypass for relieving the pressure of the fluid chamber 34 in the exemplary embodiment shown the bypass is realized by a connection 60 between the fluid chamber 34 and the relief line 62 extending to the outflow connection t the connection 60 can be cleared by the valve piston of the relief stage 54 as is shown in the fig2 b and 2 c or closed as shown in the fig2 a and 2 d in the clearing position of the valve piston of the relief stage 54 an annular groove 58 formed in the valve piston is disposed in the crossing area between the third piston chamber 52 directed parallel to the axis of rotation r and the connection 60 extending transversely to the third piston chamber 52 and to the axis of rotation r in the open position cf fig3 fluid can flow off from the fluid chamber 34 via the connection 60 past the annular groove 58 of the valve piston of the relief stage 54 via the relief line 62 to.
