A transmission parking lock device having a gearwheel with teeth and gaps and a pawl having a pawl tooth. The gearwheel rotates and the pawl pivots about axes that are parallel to each other. The gearwheel teeth each have a first contour and tooth flanks with respect to rotation of the gearwheel. The pawl tooth has a second contour and tooth flanks relative to the rotation of the gearwheel, and the gearwheel has an outer radius. The gearwheel and pawl are kinematically linked by a linear relationship between the pivoting and rotational angles. The first and/or second contour are at least partially circular with a radius of the outer radius of the gearwheel, and the teeth and/or the pawl tooth have, in the area of the front tooth flank of the gearwheel or parking lock pawl, a crown tip relief relative to the outer radius of the gearwheel.
