Claim 0:
1. A steering apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:
a handle element for actuating the steering apparatus via one hand of a driver of the vehicle;
a lever element for transmitting a torque to a steering axle of a steering column of the vehicle in order to steer the vehicle; and
a coupling device for bringing about a force-converting coupling between the handle element and the lever element in order to convert a steering movement which is carried out on the handle element into a rotational movement of the lever element about a steering angle with respect to the steering axle;
wherein the handle element is rotatably supported with respect to the lever element; and
wherein the coupling device is configured to convert the rotational movement, which occurs during the steering movement, of the lever element into a translational movement of a coupling element of the coupling device and to bring about a subsequent conversion of said translational movement back into a rotational movement of the handle element relative to the lever element such that the coupling element, during the translational movement, is actively connected to a guide in the manner of a forced guide so that a geometric extent of the guide defines a steering-angle-dependent extent of the rotational movement of the handle element.
