The invention relates to a drive (1) having an energy recovery function. The drive having an energy recovery function comprises a hydrostatic piston machine (9) and at least one storage element (13) which is connected to said hydrostatic piston machine. Said hydrostatic piston machine (9) and the at least one storage element (13) are connected together by means of a storage line. Said storage line is divided into a first storage line section (11) and into a second storage line section (12) by a throttle value unit (15). Said throttle valve unit (15) comprises a control pressure valve unit (16) and a built-in valve (17). The control pressure valve unit (16) produces a control pressure which acts upon the built-in valve (17).
