Abstract: The disclosure relates to a steering apparatus with a blocking device for limiting a steering angle of rotation, wherein the blocking device has a blocking element movable between a locking position and a release position, and with a shaft which is mounted rotatably about its centre longitudinal axis. When in the locking position, the blocking element interacts with a blocking contour in order to stop a rotational movement of the shaft. The blocking element is movable by the actuator for interaction with the blocking contour. The steering angle of rotation for the steering apparatus can be limited in two directions of rotation directed facing away from each other by the blocking element, wherein both a first end stop position in a first direction of rotation and a second end stop position in a second direction of rotation opposed to the first direction of rotation can be predefined by the blocking element and in interaction with the blocking contour.
