An independent wheel suspension system for a motor vehicle includes an upper strut plane and a lower strut plane. Each of the upper strut plane and lower strut planes includes one longitudinal strut and one transverse strut. Each of the struts has a wheel side end for connection of a wheel holder and a body side end for connection of a body. The wheel-side ends of the longitudinal struts and the wheel-side ends of the transverse struts of the two strut planes are articulatedly connected either directly or indirectly to the wheel holder. The body-side ends of first struts of the two strut planes are articulatedly connected directly to the body. The body-side ends of second struts of the two strut planes are articulatedly connected indirectly to the body via a common coupling element.
