1. A multi-link motor vehicle axle for the attachment of a wheel carrier to a motor vehicle body, said multi-link motor vehicle axle comprising:
a first link plane and a second link plane,
a first transverse link and a second transverse link each assigned to the first link plane,
a trapezoidal link assigned to the second link plane and which is attached by way of a first coupling link to the wheel carrier and by way of a second coupling link to the motor vehicle body, wherein the first coupling link includes a first end that is pivotably coupled to the wheel carrier and a second end that is pivotably coupled to the trapezoidal link at a first connection point, and wherein the second coupling link includes a first end that is pivotably coupled to the trapezoidal link at a second connection point and a second end that is configured to be attached to the motor vehicle body, and
a longitudinal link having (i) a first longitudinal link end that faces away from the second link plane and is configured to be connected to the motor vehicle body, and (ii) a second longitudinal link end that faces toward the second link plane and is attached to the trapezoidal link,
wherein the longitudinal link is mounted to the trapezoidal link at a location between the first and second connection points on the trapezoidal link,
