A surgical sterilizing container is provided, having a bottom and a container wall. A through-opening is formed on the sterilizing container for the exchange of media. A valve device having an outlet valve is provided for opening and closing the through-opening. In order to remove fluid which has formed in the container interior while reducing the risk of germs penetrating into the container interior, the through-opening is formed in the container wall at a distance from the bottom, and the sterilizing container has a fluid lifting device for providing a fluid connection from the bottom to the outlet valve and for lifting fluid from the bottom to the outlet valve. A surgical fluid extraction device is also provided for use with a surgical sterilizing container having a container wall and a bottom.

1. Surgical sterilizing container, comprising: a bottom and a container wall,a through-opening for exchange of media being formed on the sterilizing container,a valve device comprising a pressure-actuatable outlet valve for opening and closing the through-opening, the through-opening being formed in the container wall and being at a distance from the bottom,a fluid lifting device for providing a fluid connection from the bottom to the outlet valve, the fluid lifting device comprising a fluid channel for providing the fluid connection, through which fluid is liftable from the bottom to the outlet valve and comprising a channel inlet opening for the fluid and a channel outlet opening for the fluid, anda valve holder, which is fixed to the container wall, on which the outlet valve is held,wherein:the valve holder is fixed to the container wall from an inner side of the container,the valve holder is inserted in the through-opening and forms a valve seat of the outlet valve,the fluid channel is delimited by at least a first channel wall formed by the valve holder and a second channel wall which forms a cover covering the outlet valve on the inner side of the container. 2. Sterilizing container in accordance with claim 1, wherein the bottom is free of through-openings. 3. Sterilizing container in accordance with claim 1, further comprising a sterilizing container tub which comprised the bottom and an outer wall projecting from the bottom. 4. Sterilizing container in accordance with claim 3, wherein: the sterilizing container tub is of rectangular or substantially rectangular cross section with four side walls forming the outer wall, andthe through-opening is formed in a side wall. 5. Sterilizing container in accordance with claim 1, wherein the fluid lifting device is pressure-actuatable. 6. Sterilizing container in accordance with claim 1, wherein the channel inlet opening faces in a direction of the bottom. 7. Sterilizing container in accordance with claim 1, wherein the channel inlet opening has an inclination relative to the bottom. 8. Sterilizing container in accordance with claim 1, wherein the fluid channel with an end forming the channel inlet opening engages in a depression which is formed in the bottom and forms a fluid collection area for collecting fluid. 9. Sterilizing container in accordance with claim 1, wherein the channel outlet opening is directed at an upward flow side of the outlet valve. 10. Sterilizing container in accordance with claim 1, wherein: the fluid lifting device comprises an injector for lifting fluid through the fluid channel, andthe injector comprises an injector inlet opening and an injector outlet opening, via which a flow connection is provided from a container interior defined by the sterilizing container to the outlet valve, and also an injector suction opening arranged in a direction of flow between the injector inlet opening and the injector outlet opening and formed by the fluid channel. 11. Sterilizing container in accordance with claim 10, wherein the injector is integrated in the fluid channel, the injector outlet opening being formed by the channel outlet opening and/or the injector inlet opening being formed in one of the first channel wall, the second channel wall, or a further channel wall of the fluid channel. 12. Sterilizing container in accordance with claim 1, wherein the fluid channel has a cross-sectional constriction. 13. Sterilizing container in accordance with claim 12, wherein in relation to a direction of flow of the fluid flowing from the bottom to the outlet valve, an inlet opening, via which a flow connection is provided from a container interior defined by the sterilizing container to the outlet valve, is formed upstream of the cross-sectional constriction in the fluid channel. 14. Sterilizing container in accordance with claim 1, wherein the fluid channel comprises a first channel section aligned in a direction facing away from the bottom, and, in relation to a direction of flow of the fluid flowing from the bottom to the outlet valve, downstream of the first channel section, a second channel section which includes an angle with the first channel section. 15. Sterilizing container in accordance with claim 14, wherein the first channel section is aligned at right angles or essentially at right angles to a set-down plane defined by the sterilizing container. 16. Sterilizing container in accordance with claim 14, wherein the second channel section has an inclination relative to a set-down plane defined by the sterilizing container. 17. Sterilizing container in accordance with claim 1, wherein the valve holder is detachably fixed to the container wall. 18. Sterilizing container in accordance with claim 1, wherein the valve device further comprises an inlet valve which is held on the valve holder. 19. Sterilizing container in accordance with claim 1, wherein: a further through-opening is formed in the container wall, andthe valve device further comprises an inlet valve for opening and closing the further through-opening. 20. Fluid extraction device for use with a surgical sterilizing container having a container wall and a bottom, the fluid extraction device for extracting fluid from the sterilizing container comprising: a valve device comprising a pressure-actuatable outlet valve with which a through-opening formed in the container wall of the sterilizing container is openable and closable,a valve holder, which is fixed to the container wall, on which the outlet valve is held, anda fluid lifting device for providing a fluid connection from the bottom to the outlet valve, the fluid lifting device comprising a fluid channel for providing the fluid connection, through which fluid is liftable from the bottom to the outlet valve and comprising a channel inlet opening for the fluid and a channel outlet opening for the fluid,wherein:the valve holder is fixed to the container wall from an inner side of the container,the valve holder is inserted in the through-opening and forms a valve seat of the outlet valve,the fluid channel is delimited by at least a first channel wall formed by the valve holder and a second channel wall which forms a cover covering the outlet valve on the inner side of the container, andthe through-opening is formed in the container wall and is at a distance from the bottom.
