Default Clutch disc, which way around

I'm fitting a new clutch (2.0i DOHC - MT75). But I don' remember which way around the clutch disc is supposed to be.

On one side, the disc's hub is offset. Is the offset side on the flywheel side or on the pressure plate side?

Thank you.

Not 100% sure Sylvain it should say on the clutch plate which side faces the gearbox or flywheel, but I think the raised part faces away from the flywheel along with the cushion springs

Thank you for the replies.
In the first place, I thought as well there should be some kinds of mark on the disc, but I couldn't find anything... until I read your messages... and checked again (more carefully)

...Embarrassing ...

You are right, not only it is written "schwungradseite" in German (it is a LUK clutch), but it is also engraved "Flywheel side"...

Sorry for that. If we were living close by, I would pay my round of beers at the corner's pub!

And Kev, you are right, the offset side is on the pressure plate side Well done!

Thanks again.
