Abstract
A steering column for a motor vehicle may include an actuating unit in which a steering spindle is rotatably mounted and which is held in an adjustable manner by a supporting unit, an adjustment device for adjusting the actuating unit with respect to the supporting unit, and a position-sensing device that includes a first sensor unit for sensing the position of the actuating unit with respect to the supporting unit. The position-sensing device may also include a second sensor unit for sensing a state when the actuating unit is in a predetermined position relative to the supporting unit. One or both of the sensor units may be configured to operate in a contactless manner.
