The invention relates to an electrically-heated steam iron, in which an electric heating body is connected to an iron soleplate (2) in a thermally-conductive manner. The iron soleplate (2) is provided on its running surface with a coating or an additional soleplate having a relatively poor thermal conductivity. In accordance with the invention, the iron soleplate (2) has a thickened region (14) at its tip, the region (14) comprising a material that conducts and retains heat well, and being disposed in the soleplate tip region, so no disruptive drop in temperature occurs here. The thickened region (14) is embodied with two legs, which extend around a steam labyrinth (7) on the surface of the iron soleplate.
