A gas turbine, with a fixed inner housing, arranged concentric to the rotor, with a through flow of working medium, is disclosed. The housing comprises at least two serial rings with an annular gap left-between two directly adjacent rings, whereby an annular sealing means is arranged in at least one peripheral groove for sealing the annual gap. According to the invention, a sealing means is provided which permits a greater movement of both components forming the gap, whereby the annual gap is formed by partly overlapping rings, running against the flow direction of the working fluid in the radial sense and the front most of the two rings, in the sense of the flow direction, comprises a locating annular surface for the sealing means embodied as an annular spring element on which the spring element rests under tension such as to seal the annular gap.
