A landing gear having a force-measuring element. The landing gear includes an outer tube, an inner tube movably mounted in the outer tube, and a transmission assembly having at least one spindle driven by a gear. The spindle is fed through a spindle opening in a spindle bearing plate which is in contact with the outer tube, and a spindle nut fastened to the inner tube is held on the spindle. The landing gear addresses the problem of providing a landing gear that allows a quantitative and reproducible measurement of the forces transmitted from the landing gear to the ground. The problem is solved in that the force-measuring element is mounted on a support component disposed in the force flow between the spindle and the outer tube.
