Abstract
A steering column may include a casing pipe disposed longitudinally movably in a casing unit, a steering spindle rotatably supported about a longitudinal axis in the casing pipe, and a clamping device configurable in a fixing position for securing the casing unit relative to the casing pipe. The clamping device may have an engagement element supported on the casing pipe, having an upper side parallel to the longitudinal axis, and having lateral edge sides. The clamping device may have a locking element supported in the longitudinal direction on the casing unit and that can be moved to adjust the fixing position in a normal direction of the upper side against the engagement element. Positive-locking elements on the locking and engagement elements are engageable to produce a positive-locking connection in the longitudinal direction, at least some of which are disposed on an edge side of the engagement element.
