A device for supplying liquid reducing agent for an exhaust gas treatment device, includes at least a tank with an interior in which reducing agent can be stored, an intake in the interior, a delivery device situated in a separate chamber in a tank bottom of the tank, a line leading from the delivery device to the exhaust gas treatment device and passing through the tank bottom at the separate chamber, and a cleaning layer covering the intake. An intermediate space is formed between the intake and the cleaning layer and contains at least one sponge element which can absorb reducing agent and from which the delivery device can extract reducing agent through the intake. A motor vehicle having the device is also provided.

1. A device for supplying liquid reducing agent for an exhaust gas treatment device, the device comprising: a tank having a tank bottom and an interior configured to store reducing agent;a separate chamber disposed in said tank bottom;a delivery device disposed in said separate chamber for delivering reducing agent;a line configured to lead from said delivery device to the exhaust gas treatment device, said line passing through said tank bottom at said separate chamber;an intake fluidly connecting said delivery device to said interior of said tank and having an intake opening;a cleaning layer covering said intake;said intake and said cleaning layer forming an intermediate space therebetween;at least one sponge disposed in said intermediate space, said at least one sponge configured to draw-in reducing agent from said interior of said tank through said cleaning layer by capillary forces, configured to absorb reducing agent and configured to provide reducing agent to be extracted by said delivery device through said intake; andsaid intake opening directly contacting said sponge. 2. The device according to claim 1, wherein said sponge forms a plurality of channels from said cleaning layer to said intake. 3. The device according to claim 1, wherein said sponge covers said intake. 4. The device according to claim 1, wherein said separate chamber extends from said tank bottom at least partially into said interior, and said intake is disposed at said tank bottom. 5. The device according to claim 1, wherein said cleaning layer has at least one filter or at least one screen. 6. The device according to claim 1, wherein said separate chamber has an outer circumference and a circumferential direction, and said cleaning layer and said sponge surround said separate chamber over said outer circumference in said circumferential direction. 7. The device according to claim 1, wherein said intake has a plurality of intake openings, and said sponge spans all of said intake openings. 8. The device according to claim 1, wherein said separate chamber has a heater. 9. The device according to claim 1, wherein said tank has a tank wall, and said intake opening is formed in said tank wall. 10. The device according to claim 1, wherein said separate chamber has a separate chamber wall, and said intake opening is formed in said separate chamber wall. 11. The device according to claim 1, wherein said sponge is disposed in front of said intake opening and spans said intake opening. 12. The device according to claim 1, wherein said cleaning layer shields said sponge. 13. The device according to claim 1, wherein said sponge is a porous structure with open pores, into which said reducing agent can penetrate. 14. The device according to claim 1, wherein said sponge is formed of an open-cell foam. 15. The device according to claim 1, wherein said line passes downward through said tank bottom at said separate chamber. 16. A motor vehicle, comprising: an internal combustion engine;an exhaust gas treatment device configured to clean exhaust gases from said internal combustion engine; andthe device according to claim 1 configured to feed reducing agent into said exhaust gas treatment device.
