1. A container transporting device, comprising:
a centrally rotatingly driven star wheel including exterior elements configured to manipulate a plurality of containers; a stationary column having a hollow basic body, the hollow basic body comprising a shaft journal projecting from an upper side of the hollow basic body; and an electric motor arranged as a drive unit of the star wheel, the electric motor being an outer-rotor motor including an inner cylindrical hollow stator and an outer cylindrical rotor co-axial with the cylindrical stator and surrounding an outer side of the hollow cylindrical stator, the hollow cylindrical stator being supported detachably relative to the stationary column and being fixed to an outer side of the shaft journal by means of at least one of a mechanically or hydraulically operable clamping annulus having at least one radial slot, the rotor being fixed with at least one radial and/or axial fastening element to the clamping annulus, and wherein the outer cylindrical rotor is configured to carry the star wheel and to support the star wheel via the hollow cylindrical stator on the hollow basic body of the stationary column.
