An electrical train coupling having two coupling halves, each including at least one electrical contact element, which is electrically contactable with an electrical contact element of the particular other coupling half, including one electrical connection per coupling half. At least one electrical contact element of at least one coupling half is supported by a decoupling element movable against the force of a force accumulator at least also along a coupling direction of the coupling halves, the decoupling element, in a coupled state of the two coupling halves, being moved against the force of the force accumulator into an electrically conductive contact of the electrical contact element with the electrical connection of the coupling half and, in a decoupled state of the two coupling halves, moved by the force of the force accumulator with the electrical contact element, being lifted off of the electrical connection to disconnect the electrically conductive contact to the electrical connection.
