Claim 0:
1. A steering column for a motor vehicle, comprising:
an adjusting unit in which a steering spindle is rotatably mounted about a longitudinal axis, the adjusting unit including an outer jacket that is configured to be adjustably secured to a carrier unit and that is configured to be clamped to a telescopically adjustable inner jacket, wherein the outer jacket comprises:
a tubular body with a clamping slot that extends at least in part in a longitudinal direction, and
two side plates that oppose one another on either side of the clamping slot relative to the longitudinal axis and that extend parallel to the longitudinal axis, the two side plates are tangential and connected to the tubular body and each having an elongated hole that is spaced apart from the tubular body and that extends in the longitudinal direction; and

a clamping bolt of a clamping device extending through the two elongated holes and an opening of the carrier unit, wherein the clamping bolt is configured to apply a clamping force that loads the side plates relative to one another,
wherein each of the two side plates includes:
an outer region that protrudes from the tubular body distal the longitudinal axis and that comprises one of the elongated holes,
an inner region that is fixed to the tubular body proximate the longitudinal axis,

wherein in each case a support element is connected to one of the side plates between the respective elongated hole and the respective inner region, each support element being connected to the tubular body at an edge region of the clamping slot.
