ABSTRACT:
A steering column in a motor vehicle having a steering shaft which, in the event of a crash, can be displaced axially in the direction of the vehicle front by a load on the steering wheel. The steering column has a shell element around the steering shaft adjoining the steering wheel which can be divided by the displacement of the steering wheel for reducing the displacement resistance. The shell element is divided into at least two parts approximately in the axial direction of the steering shaft. The steering wheel and the steering shaft press the shell parts of the shell element apart radially to the outside in the event of an axial displacement.
