A hybrid gas pressure spring system comprising: - a gas pressure spring having a cylinder, a piston rod arranged in the cylinder so as to be movable in the direction of a movement axis, and a pressurized gas chamber for a pressurized gas for providing a spring force (F S) by means of which the piston rod can be acted upon; - a pressurized gas store; - an electrically actuatable pressure compressor, by means of which the pressurized gas contained in the pressurized gas chamber can be conveyed into the pressurized gas store; - a controllable outlet valve, via which the pressurized gas store can be fluidically connected to the pressurized gas chamber in order to conduct the pressurized gas from the pressurized gas store into the pressurized gas chamber; and - a control device having a pressure sensor for detecting a gas pressure (P 2) of the pressurized gas prevailing in each case in the pressurized gas chamber in order to determine the spring force (F S) corresponding to the gas pressure (P 2), and having a sensor for determining an axial force (F A) directed counter to the spring force (F S), wherein the control device is programmed to control the outlet valve and the pressure compressor on the basis of the determined axial force (F A) such that the spring force (F S) and the axial force (F A) are in force equilibrium or have a difference in value in a predetermined difference interval; and wherein the gas pressure spring is provided with a blocking unit, and the pressure compressor and the outlet valve can be actuated by the control device only when the blocking unit is activated, or the blocking unit can only be released when the spring force (F S) and the axial force (F A) cancel each other out or the difference of absolute values thereof is in the predetermined difference interval. - a gas pressure spring having a cylinder, a piston rod arranged in the cylinder so as to be movable in the direction of a movement axis, and a pressurized gas chamber for a pressurized gas for providing a spring force (F S) by means of which the piston rod can be acted upon; - a pressurized gas store; - an electrically actuatable pressure compressor, by means of which the pressurized gas contained in the pressurized gas chamber can be conveyed into the pressurized gas store; - a controllable outlet valve, via which the pressurized gas store can be fluidically connected to the pressurized gas chamber in order to conduct the pressurized gas from the pressurized gas store into the pressurized gas chamber; and - a control device having a pressure sensor for detecting a gas pressure (P 2) of the pressurized gas prevailing in each case in the pressurized gas chamber in order to determine the spring force (F S) corresponding to the gas pressure (P 2), and having a sensor for determining an axial force (F A) directed counter to the spring force (F S), wherein the control device is programmed to control the outlet valve and the pressure compressor on the basis of the determined axial force (F A) such that the spring force (F S) and the axial force (F A) are in force equilibrium or have a difference in value in a predetermined difference interval; and wherein the gas pressure spring is provided with a blocking unit, and the pressure compressor and the outlet valve can be actuated by the control device only when the blocking unit is activated, or the blocking unit can only be released when the spring force (F S) and the axial force (F A) cancel each other out or the difference of absolute values thereof is in the predetermined difference interval.
