The invention relates to a claw pole generator comprising a claw pole rotor, two magnet wheel halves (21, 23) which are mounted on a drive shaft (15) and are provided with claw-shaped magnet poles (22, 24) that mesh with each other, and an annular closing member (10) located between adjacent magnet poles (21, 23). The magnet wheel halves (21, 23) can be inserted into pockets (11) of the closing member (10) along with the magnet poles (22, 24) thereof such that the closing member (10) overlaps the magnet poles (22, 24) on the edge in at least some areas. Also disclosed is a closing member (10).
