Described and illustrated is a pressure bulkhead (1) for an aircraft fuselage, comprising a sandwich structure (3) defining a central axis (5) and extending between a circumferential border area (7), wherein the sandwich structure (3) comprises an inner face sheet (9) and an outer face sheet (11) extending transverse to the central axis (5), and a core assembly (13) sandwiched between the inner face sheet (9) and the outer face sheet (11). The object, to provide a pressure bulkhead, which in addition to receiving pressure loads can be used also as a structural bearing element for receiving loads introduced by other structural parts, is achieved in that the inner face sheet (9) and/or the outer face sheet (11), when viewed in a radial cross section (15) along the central axis (5), has a corrugated shape, wherein the distance between the outer face sheet (11) and the inner face sheet (9) increases and subsequently decreases from the border area (7) to a central area (27) about the central axis (5), thereby forming a thickened area (17) where the distance between the outer face sheet (11) and the inner face sheet (9) has a peak.
