The invention relates to a height adjustable steering device (1) for a motor vehicle comprising a steering column (2) and a steering bracket (3), whereby the steering bracket (3) is provided for supporting or mounting the steering column (2). The lower area (4) of the steering bracket (3) extends in the direction of the knee area of a vehicle driver, and a cover plate (5) is provided between the lower area (4) of the steering bracket (3) and the knee area of the vehicle driver. The security for the vehicle driver is thus increased in that a supporting element (6) is provided which is active between the lower area (4) of the steering bracket (3) and the cover plate (5). In addition, the supporting element (6) is arranged and designed such that during an accident in which the driver's knee is thrown upward, the kinetic energy of the knee is intercepted by the supporting element and is laterally deflected. As a result, the steering bracket, in particular, can also be deformed in an energy dissipating manner.
