Abstract

A vehicle roof has a roof opening and a planar, transparent or translucent, roof element which seals the roof opening and is permanently connected to a roof frame of the vehicle roof. A ventilation device is integrated in the roof element and has a ventilation flap. The ventilation flap can be pivoted between a closed position in which the ventilation flap seals a ventilation opening and an open position in which the ventilation flap exposes the ventilation opening. A vehicle is equipped with a vehicle roof of this type.
