Braking system for a vehicle having a brake master cylinder and a brake medium reservoir; and at least a first brake circuit having: at least a first wheel brake cylinder and a second wheel brake cylinder; a separating valve which is connected to the brake master cylinder in such a way that a first brake medium volume can be transferred out of the brake master cylinder via the at least partially open separating valve into an attached first connecting line and via the first connecting line into the first wheel brake cylinder and the second wheel brake cylinder, it being possible for a displacement of brake medium out of the brake master cylinder into the first wheel brake cylinder and into the second wheel brake cylinder to be suppressed by means of closing of the separating valve; a first pump, by means of which, after closing of the separating valve, a second brake medium volume can be pumped out of the brake medium reservoir into the first wheel brake cylinder and the second wheel brake cylinder at least in a first mode of the first brake circuit; and a continuously adjustable control valve which is connected via a suction line to the brake medium reservoir and via a second connecting line to a branching point which is configured in the first connecting line, in such a way that a third brake medium volume can be transferred out of the first wheel brake cylinder and the second wheel brake cylinder via the at least partially open control valve into the brake medium reservoir, and a displacement of brake medium out of the first wheel brake cylinder and the second wheel brake cylinder into the brake medium reservoir can be suppressed by means of closing of the control valve; the braking system comprising a second brake circuit which is connected hydraulically to the brake master cylinder, with a second pump, a third wheel brake cylinder and a fourth wheel brake cylinder which are assigned in each case one wheel inlet valve (62a, 62b) and in each case one wheel outlet valve (64a, 64b); characterized in that the first brake circuit comprises a pump control valve, the first brake circuit comprising, as pump control valve, a high-pressure switching valve which is arranged in an intake line path between the brake medium reservoir and the first pump, as a result of which, at least after closing of the separating valve, the first brake circuit can be controlled out of the first mode into a second mode via closing of the pump control valve, in which second mode, despite driving of the first pump, a delivery of brake medium out of the brake medium reservoir both into the first wheel brake cylinder and into the second wheel brake cylinder is suppressed; and the braking system, in the separating valve, the high-pressure switching valve, the continuously adjustable control valve, the two wheel inlet valves (62a, 62b) and the two wheel outlet valves (64a, 64b), comprises precisely seven valves (22, 32, 34, 62a, 62b, 64a, 64b) which can be switched electrically at least into an open state and into a closed state. at least a first wheel brake cylinder and a second wheel brake cylinder; a separating valve which is connected to the brake master cylinder in such a way that a first brake medium volume can be transferred out of the brake master cylinder via the at least partially open separating valve into an attached first connecting line and via the first connecting line into the first wheel brake cylinder and the second wheel brake cylinder, it being possible for a displacement of brake medium out of the brake master cylinder into the first wheel brake cylinder and into the second wheel brake cylinder to be suppressed by means of closing of the separating valve; a first pump, by means of which, after closing of the separating valve, a second brake medium volume can be pumped out of the brake medium reservoir into the first wheel brake cylinder and the second wheel brake cylinder at least in a first mode of the first brake circuit; and a continuously adjustable control valve which is connected via a suction line to the brake medium reservoir and via a second connecting line to a branching point which is configured in the first connecting line, in such a way that a third brake medium volume can be transferred out of the first wheel brake cylinder and the second wheel brake cylinder via the at least partially open control valve into the brake medium reservoir, and a displacement of brake medium out of the first wheel brake cylinder and the second wheel brake cylinder into the brake medium reservoir can be suppressed by means of closing of the control valve;
