The present invention relates to an articulation device for flexibly connecting car bodies of an articulated vehicle, which device is composed of at least one central bearing, two base bearings and two legs. Correspondingly, the legs form a wishbone connection. At least one base bearing is designed and/or its materials are selected in such a way that the bearing section and support section can perform a forced movement relative to one other. Correspondingly, the bearing section and support section are arranged flexibly with respect to one other as part of a stiffness. According to one embodiment, at least one base bearing and/or components thereof are designed and materials are selected in such a way that a stiffness of a base bearing in at least one leg direction of the leg belonging to the base bearing is at least 3 kN/mm and/or a maximum of 6 kN/mm at least in a quasi-linear range of stiffness. In this way, rolling movements can be effectively compensated for by means of the articulation device. Thus. the car bodies are suitably decoupled in the transverse direction, with a targeted selection of the overall stiffness between the cars helping to prevent the damaging transmission of a rolling movement. At the same time it can be ensured that an overall stiffness in the longitudinal direction is many times higher than the resulting overall stiffness at the central bearing in the transverse direction.
