A seating device with at least one lateral luggage bar, which is provided for being mounted underneath a seat, and with at least one carrier element, which is implemented by a step element and provided for receiving a support force in at least one operating state. In order to achieve improved characteristics regarding complexity and weight, the carrier element and the luggage bar have at least one coupling point, in which the luggage bar and the carrier element are rigidly connected to each other in at least one direction via a form-fit manner, by a substance to substance bond and/or via a force-fit manner and which coupling point is provided for transferring at least a portion of the support force from the carrier element onto the luggage bar.
