Environment illuminating device for a motor vehicle

A motor vehicle comprising:

• an environment illuminating device for emitting light toward ground in an environment of the motor vehicle, wherein:
• the environment illuminating device comprises one or more light modules, which are each configured to generate a light distribution on the ground;
• a respective light module comprises an imager, which is configured to generate a light radiation from light of a lighting device, which contains an item of two-dimensional image information for a symbol, and a light pattern and/or a homogeneous surface having essentially constant luminance;
• the respective light module further comprises an optical device, on which the light radiation of the imager is incident;
• the optical device is configured to divide the light radiation of the imager so that a first partial radiation and a second partial radiation result, wherein the first partial radiation and the second partial radiation are disjoint from one another;
• the optical device is further configured to generate a first illumination region comprising the symbol in the light distribution on the ground from the first partial radiation and to generate a second illumination region comprising at least one of the light pattern or the homogeneous surface in the light distribution on the ground from the second partial radiation, and
• the optical device comprises a first projection optical unit on which only the first partial radiation is incident, to generate the first illumination region by way of a projection on the ground.
