Claim:
1. A fuel cell system, comprising: at least one fuel cell; a humidifying device having a first region and a second region arranged below the first region, the humidifying device structurally configured to humidify a supply air flow flowing to a cathode chamber of the fuel cell by an exhaust air flow discharged from the cathode chamber of the fuel cell, wherein the first region receives the supply air flow and the second region receives the exhaust air flow and the first and second regions are separated from one another by water vapor-permeable membranes; and an anode water separator structurally configured so that exhaust gas from an anode chamber of the fuel cell flows through the anode water separator, wherein the anode water separator is integrated into the humidifying device and arranged below the water vapor-permeable membranes.
