A stacked-plate heat exchanger may include a first stacked-plate pack and a second stacked-plate pack. Each pack may have a plurality of stacked plates placed side by side and connected to one another, and a base plate via which at least one of inflow and outflow of a coolant may take place. The first and second stacked-plate packs may be connected to one another with the base plates lying against one another. The stacked-plate heat exchanger may also include a holder that holds the first and second stacked-plate packs exclusively on the two base plates. The first and second stacked-plate packs may each be directly connected to at least one of a coolant inlet and a coolant outlet via the respective base plates.
