A method of producing an organic optoelectronic component includes: forming a first electrode layer comprising a contact region, arranging an electrically conductive contact lug on the first electrode layer. A first section of the contact lug is secured in the contact region on the first electrode layer such that a second section projects beyond the contact region. The method further includes forming an organic functional layer structure laterally alongside the contact lug on the first electrode layer, forming a second electrode on the organic functional layer structure, forming an encapsulation layer such that it extends over the second electrode and over the first section, and severing the first electrode layer and the encapsulation layer in the region of the lug such that subsequently the first section is arranged between the contact region and the encapsulation layer and the second section projects between the encapsulation layer and the first electrode layer.
