We have detected the 372 GHz line of ortho-H2D+ towards the pre-stellar core L1544. The strongest emission (T-mb similar to 1 K) occurs at the peak of the millimeter continuum emission, while measurements at offset positions indicate that H2D+ is confined within similar to20, where CO is highly depleted. The derived H2D+ abundance of similar to10(-9) is comparable with previous estimates of the electron abundance in the core, which suggests that H2D+ is the main molecular ion in the central 20 (2800 AU) of L1544. This confirms the expectations that H2D+ is dramatically enhanced in gas depleted of molecules other than H-2. The measured abundance even exceeds the present model predictions by about a factor ten. One possibility is that all CNO-bearing neutral species, including atomic oxygen, are almost completely (greater than or similar to98%) frozen within a radius of similar to2800 AU.
