Abstract: A vehicle seat (1) has a turning device (10), including a base part (14), a seat part support (16) rotatable relative to the base part about an axis of rotation (12) and at least one catching device (20), preventing the seat part support (16) from being ripped out of the base part (14) in the event of a crash, including an insertion element (24) and a receiving element (26) into which the insertion element (24) can be inserted. The receiving element (26) has at least one spring element (40) which undergoes a deformation by contact with the inserted insertion element (24). The spring element (40) is designed such that, when the insertion element (24) is inserted, a spring resistance is approximately the same as when the insertion element (24) is not inserted. The spring resistance of the spring element increases upon a further deformation by the insertion element (24).
