The invention relates to a deformation element, in particular for bumper cross member (2) on a motor vehicle, having at least one predetermined breaking point (S) at which, in the event of a crash, the deformation element (1) breaks apart into a breaking segment (1a) facing the crash which is displaced over the course of the crash and into a stationary breaking segment (1b) facing away from the crash. According to the invention the deformation element (1) is produced with at least one material layer (4) made of a fibre-reinforced plastic having a fibre fabric (14) embedded in a bedding material (10), said fibre fabric being exposed, after the deformation element (1) breaks apart, between the breaking segments (1a, 1b) and connecting said breaking segments to each other.
