A steering column for a motor vehicle may include a steering shaft that is rotatably mounted in a boxed swing arm, a latching element connected to the steering shaft in a torsion-resistant manner, a locking element that may be brought into engagement with the latching element for temporary blocking of the steering shaft, a sensor arrangement that detects a steering parameter such as an angle of rotation of the steering shaft or a torque acting on the steering shaft, and an electromechanical actuator for actuating the locking element depending on a control. The sensor arrangement may comprise first sensors for detecting the steering parameter and at least one second sensor for detecting a position of the locking element in a structural unit (13).”
