A hydraulic steering unit (1) is described comprising a supply port arrangement having a pressure port (P) connected to a main flow path (5) and a tank port (T) connected to a tank flow path (6), a working port arrangement having a left working port (L) connected to a left working flow path (7) and a right working port (R) connected to a right working flow path (8), a bridge arrangement (14) of variable neutral open orifices, said bridge arrangement (14) comprising a first left orifice (A2L) connected to a main flow path (5) and to the left working flow path (7), a first right orifice (A2R) connected to a main flow path (5) and to the right working flow path (8), a second left orifice (A3L) connected to the left working flow path (7) and to the tank flow path (6), and a second right orifice (A3R) connected to the right working flow path (8) and to the tank flow path (6). Such a steering unit has a good steering behavior but can function as a closed-center solution. To this end a further variable orifice arrangement is arranged between the supply port (P) arrangement and the working port arrangement (T), which further orifice arrangement is closed in neutral position.
