A locking device for releasably securing an adjustable steering column to a motor-vehicle body. The locking device comprises two locking elements where one of the two locking elements is attached to the steering column and the other is attached the motor-vehicle body. The two locking elements are adjustable in relation to each other between a release position, which allows the steering column to be adjusted, and a locking position, which secures the steering column. One of the two locking elements is designed as an elastically ductile deformation element that can be deformed in the locking position by means of the other locking element with resultant force and/or form locking of the steering column to the motor-vehicle body. Methods are also provided for making and using same.
