Lighting unit for a motor vehicle headlamp for producing a beam pattern with a cut-off line, wherein the lighting unit comprises: - at least one light source, - at least one first reflector (R 1) having at least one focal point (F 1R1), wherein the at least one light source is arranged in the at least one focal point (F 1R1), wherein - the at least one first reflector (R 1) is designed to emit light and transmit it to a second reflector (R 2), - at least one second reflector (R 2) having at least one focal point (F 1R2), wherein the at least one second reflector (R 2) in the beam path is arranged downstream of the at least one first reflector (R 1) and is configured to display an intermediate light image produced by the first reflector (R 1), - at least one baffle, which is arranged in the beam path between the at least one first reflector (R 1) and the at least second reflector (R 2), wherein - the first reflector (R 1) is constructed at least in two parts (R 11, R 12) and has a first reflector section (R 11) as well as at least one separate second reflector section (R 12), wherein each reflector section (R 11, R 12) respectively has at least one focal point (F 1R11, F 1R12), and - at least one focal point (F 1R11, F 1R12) of the first and of the at least second reflector section (R 11, R 12) are respectively arranged congruently at the location of the at least one light source, wherein - the at least two-part first reflector (R 11, R 12) splits the beam (S 1) emitted by the at least one light source at least into two separate beams (S 11, S 12), characterized in that: - the at least one baffle is arranged such that it is assigned to the first reflector section (R 11) of the first reflector (R 1) and is arranged at a short distance (D 1) close to the beam (S 11) emanating from the first reflector section (R 11) and cuts down the intermediate light image produced in the first reflector section (R 11) by forming a cut-off line, and - the at least one baffle is arranged spaced apart at a larger distance (D 2) away from the beam (S 12) emanating from the at least second reflector section (R 12) and the intermediate light image produced at least in the second reflector section (R 12) is substantially free of influence due to shading of the baffle arrangement. - at least one light source, - at least one first reflector (R 1) having at least one focal point (F 1R1), wherein the at least one light source is arranged in the at least one focal point (F 1R1), wherein - the at least one first reflector (R 1) is designed to emit light and transmit it to a second reflector (R 2), - at least one second reflector (R 2) having at least one focal point (F 1R2), wherein the at least one second reflector (R 2) in the beam path is arranged downstream of the at least one first reflector (R 1) and is configured to display an intermediate light image produced by the first reflector (R 1), - at least one baffle, which is arranged in the beam path between the at least one first reflector (R 1) and the at least second reflector (R 2), wherein - the first reflector (R 1) is constructed at least in two parts (R 11, R 12) and has a first reflector section (R 11) as well as at least one separate second reflector section (R 12), wherein each reflector section (R 11, R 12) respectively has at least one focal point (F 1R11, F 1R12), and - at least one focal point (F 1R11, F 1R12) of the first and of the at least second reflector section (R 11, R 12) are respectively arranged congruently at the location of the at least one light source, wherein - the at least two-part first reflector (R 11, R 12) splits the beam (S 1) emitted by the at least one light source at least into two separate beams (S 11, S 12), - the at least one baffle is arranged such that it is assigned to the first reflector section (R 11) of the first reflector (R 1) and is arranged at a short distance (D 1) close to the beam (S 11) emanating from the first reflector section (R 11) and cuts down the intermediate light image produced in the first reflector section (R 11) by forming a cut-off line, and - the at least one baffle is arranged spaced apart at a larger distance (D 2) away from the beam (S 12) emanating from the at least second reflector section (R 12) and the intermediate light image produced at least in the second reflector section (R 12) is substantially free of influence due to shading of the baffle arrangement.
