The invention relates to a stator (100) for an electric machine having a stator core (102) and at least one winding (110) which has a winding head (120) protruding axially beyond the stator core (102), wherein the winding head (120) comprises portions of the winding which form reversals of the winding wires, winding connection lines (126) for energizing the winding (110) and at least one radially outwardly arranged first set of winding portions (127) and one radially inwardly arranged second set of winding portions (128) spaced apart from the first set, wherein the portions of the winding connection lines (126) each run in the circumferential direction, do not protrude axially beyond the first (127) and the second (128) sets of winding portions and are arranged radially between and fixed by the first (127) and the second (128) sets of winding portions. The invention also relates to a method for producing such a stator (100) and to an electric machine having such a stator (100).
