Claim 9:
10. A steering apparatus includes a blocking device for limiting a steering angle of rotation, wherein the blocking device includes a blocking element movable between a locking position and a release position and a shaft mounted rotatably about its centre longitudinal axis, wherein, in the locking position, the blocking element interacts with a blocking contour, which is connected to the shaft for rotation therewith, in order to stop a rotational movement of the shaft, and the blocking device includes at least one of an electromagnetic or an electromechanical actuator, wherein the blocking element is movable by the actuator for interaction with the blocking contour, wherein the steering angle of rotation 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 the two directions of rotation and a second end stop position in a second direction of the two directions of rotation opposed to the first direction of rotation can be predefined by the blocking element and in interaction with the blocking contour, wherein the blocking element is guided in a linearly displaceable manner in a guide, wherein the blocking element is arranged in the guide in a manner displaceable parallel to the centre longitudinal axis of the shaft.
