The invention relates to a device for feeding a liquid into or removing a liquid from a receptacle, said device having a spike (1) and a housing (10, 20, 30) connected to the spike (1), wherein the spike (1) has a liquid channel (6) and a venting channel (7), and the housing (10, 20, 30) has a liquid filter chamber (24) connected to the liquid channel (6) and a venting filter chamber (11) connected to the venting channel (7). In order to achieve a larger filter surface while keeping the overall size of the structure to a minimum, the invention proposes that the liquid filter chamber (24) and the venting filter chamber (11) are arranged one above the other in the direction of a longitudinal axis (4) running along the spike (1).
