Method and apparatus for discharging a high-voltage network

The invention relates to a method for discharging a high-voltage network (2) in a vehicle, wherein the high-voltage network (2) comprises at least one energy store (1) and a plurality of high-voltage load (3). To discharge the high-voltage network (2) of the electric energy storage (1) at first from the rest of the vehicle network (2) is disconnected and turned on at least one of the high-voltage load (3), so that the stored in the network load on the consumer (3) flows.
