Claim 1:
2. A steering apparatus comprising: 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 that is mounted rotatably about its centre longitudinal axis, wherein, in the locking position, the blocking element interacts with a blocking contour in order to stop a rotational movement of the shaft, wherein the blocking element is movable by an 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 directions of rotation and a second end stop position in a second direction of the 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 device and/or the blocking element and/or the actuator are/is arranged between at least two bearings for the rotatable mounting of the shaft.
