A device for pivoting a front hatch of a track-guided vehicle, in particular a railway vehicle, wherein the device is designed to pivot the front hatch relative to a vehicle chassis of the track-guided vehicle by a motion which is a superposition of a linear and a pivotal movement, wherein the device comprises the following: - a first pivot lever connectable to the front hatch and a second pivot lever connectable to the front hatch, wherein the two pivot levers (3, 3') are rotatable about a common rotational axis to pivot the front hatch relative to the vehicle chassis; - a first actuating element connectable to the vehicle chassis which interacts with the first pivot lever such that upon the first actuating element being actuated, torque is exerted on the first pivot lever; - a second actuating element connectable to the vehicle chassis which interacts with the second pivot lever such that upon the second actuating element being actuated, torque is exerted on the second pivot lever; and - a synchronization element in the form of a rod-shaped element extending along the common rotational axis which is connected to the first pivot lever on the one side and to the second pivot lever on the other so as to synchronize the rotational movement of said pivot levers (3, 3'); wherein the first and second pivot lever (3, 3') can each be respectively connected to the front hatch so as to be pivotable about a rotational axis extending parallel to the rod-shaped synchronization element, and wherein a first and a second additional pivot lever (4, 4') are further provided which interact with the first and second pivot lever (3, 3') such that the first pivot lever together with the first additional pivot lever and the second pivot lever together with the second additional pivot lever respectively form a quadruple joint by means of which the front hatch can be connected to the vehicle chassis, and wherein the actuating elements (14, 14') each comprise a pneumatic, hydraulic or electrical actuating cylinder (15, 15') having an extendable and retractable piston rod (16, 16'), wherein an actuating mechanism is provided for each actuating element (14, 14') which converts the linear force exerted on the piston rod (16, 16') of the actuating element (14, 14') into a rotational motion in order to exert a torque on a respective lever mechanism to pivot the front hatch relative to the vehicle chassis, wherein the respective actuating elements (14, 14') interact with the associated pivot lever (3, 3') by means of the actuating mechanism, wherein the actuating mechanism comprises the following: - a bell crank (7, 7') to which the piston rod (16, 16') of the respective actuating element (14, 14') is articulated; and - an eccentric disc (8, 8') connected to an end region of the rod-shaped synchronization element, wherein the bell crank (7, 7') interacts with the eccentric disc (8, 8') such that upon the respective actuating element (14, 14') being actuated, at least part of the torque acting on the bell crank (7, 7') is transmitted to the eccentric disc (8, 8') and from there to the rod-shaped synchronization element. - a first pivot lever connectable to the front hatch and a second pivot lever connectable to the front hatch, wherein the two pivot levers (3, 3') are rotatable about a common rotational axis to pivot the front hatch relative to the vehicle chassis; - a first actuating element connectable to the vehicle chassis which interacts with the first pivot lever such that upon the first actuating element being actuated, torque is exerted on the first pivot lever; - a second actuating element connectable to the vehicle chassis which interacts with the second pivot lever such that upon the second actuating element being actuated, torque is exerted on the second pivot lever; and - a synchronization element in the form of a rod-shaped element extending along the common rotational axis which is connected to the first pivot lever on the one side and to the second pivot lever on the other so as to synchronize the rotational movement of said pivot levers (3, 3'); - a bell crank (7, 7') to which the piston rod (16, 16') of the respective actuating element (14, 14') is articulated; and - an eccentric disc (8, 8') connected to an end region of the rod-shaped synchronization element,
