In order to reduce the stored electrical energy in the converter circuit, n >= 1, and p second switching groups (5.1, ..., 5.p) and p third switching groups (6.1, ..., 6.p) are provided, which each have a first drivable bidirectional power semiconductor switch (7, 8), a second drivable bidirectional power semiconductor switch (9, 10) and a capacitor (13, 14), where p >= 1. Each of the p second switching groups (5.1, ..., 5.p) is connected in a linked form to the respectively adjacent second switching group (5.1, ..., 5.p), and each of the p third switching groups (6.1, ..., 6.p) is connected in a linked form to the respectively adjacent third switching group (6.1, ..., 6.p). Furthermore, the first second and the first third switching group (5.1, 6.1) each have a third drivable bidirectional power semiconductor switch (11, 12) which is connected back--to-back in series with the respective second drivable bidirectional power semiconductor switch (9, 10), with the first second switching group (5.1) being connected to the first drivable bidirectional power semiconductor switch (2) in the n-th first switching group (1.n), and with the first third switching group (6.1) being connected to the second drivable bidirectional power semiconductor switch (3) in the n-th first switching group (1.n), and the capacitor (13) in the p-th second switching group (5.p) is connected in series with the capacitor (14) in the p-th third switching group (6.p).
