1. A siphon comprising a feed area for feeding a liquid, a downpipe connecting to the feed area, extended from top to bottom in a position of use of the siphon, a deflection pipe filled with the liquid during stationary operation on an end of the downpipe facing away from the feed area connecting to this, a riser pipe on an end of the deflection pipe facing away from the downpipe, and connecting to this, extended from bottom to top in the position of use of the siphon, and a discharge area connecting to an end of the riser pipe facing away from the deflection pipe for discharging the liquid
wherein, on the siphon, between the feed area and the discharge area, a storage tank is arranged, which is hydraulically connected to the deflection pipe, is designed to automatically fill with the liquid during stationary operation and to automatically empty into the deflection pipe following a pressure surge that affects the siphon, and
wherein the downpipe, starting from the feed area comprises a first, straight downpipe section and a second downpipe section adjoining the first, straight downpipe section and running in a meander-like manner, connected to the deflection pipe and at a transition area between the first, straight downpipe section and the second downpipe section, a trap is arranged that is hydraulically connected to the downpipe, sealed at a lower end of the trap, and extended vertically during use of the siphon.
