This invention relates to a damping device for mounting two separate components for damping oscillations between the components, wherein the damping device has an axial damper that comprises a first connecting element as well as a second connecting element, wherein the first connecting element is connected to the second connecting element via a damping section by ensuring an axial relative movement of the two connecting elements with respect to one another, wherein the damping section is designed for damping the axial relative movement between the connecting elements. The damping device comprises a bending joint 1 that is fastened to one of the connecting elements, wherein the bending joint has a mounting element for mounting on one of the components, wherein the bending joint has a joint section that is designed as a continuous rigidly interconnected component and that extends axially between the connecting element fixed to the bending joint and the mounting element, wherein the bending joint can be bent, in particular resiliently bent, in its joint section about at least one axis of rotation that is perpendicular to the axial direction.
