Abstract
The invention relates to a double-leaf vehicle door device comprising at least the following: two door leaves, each of which can be moved between an open position and a closed position in the form of a respective end position and into any intermediate position between the first open position and the first closed position, wherein a first movement of the first door leaf between the first open position and the first closed position is carried out without mechanically coupling the first door leaf to the second door leaf in contrast to a second movement of the second door leaf between the second open position and the second closed position, and a common locking device is provided which locks the first door leaf in the closed position when the first door leaf is located in the closed position and which locks the second door leaf in the closed position when the second door leaf is in the closed position. A pre-locking function is provided such that of the first door and the second door leaf, the door leaf which first reaches the closed position is held in the closed position at least until the other door leaf has also reached the closed position, and the locking device is additionally designed to only then lock or become capable of locking the first door leaf and the second door leaf.
