Claim:
1. A spring element comprising a spring body which is at least chiefly formed from an elastomer, wherein at least one reinforcement fibre is embedded into the elastomer, the at least one reinforcement fibre having an arcuate course in a non-loaded condition of the spring element and the at least one reinforcement fibre completely stretched given a predetermined loading of the spring element, such that the spring element has a non-linear spring characteristic, wherein the at least one reinforcement fibre is at least one of stretchable transversely to a compression direction given a compressive loading of the spring element and stretchable along a tension direction given a tensile loading of the spring element, and wherein the at least one reinforcement fibre is embedded into a first region of the spring body, and a second region of the spring body is adjacent to the first region, wherein no reinforcement fibre is embedded into the elastomer in the second region of the spring body, wherein the second region connects to the first region in one of the tension direction and the compression direction.
