Steering column for a motor vehicle

A steering column for a motor vehicle comprising:

• a first component;
• a second component, wherein the first component and the second component are adjustable relative to one another in two non-parallel adjustment directions;
• a position detection device having a sensor connected to the first component including at least one sensor unit;
• and
• a sensor target connected to the second component comprising at least one target unit, wherein the sensor is configured to detect relative position of the sensor target, wherein the target unit includes a measurement portion extending in the two adjustment directions which has a local measuring quantity varying in each of the two adjustment directions that can be detected locally by the sensor unit;
• wherein the measurement portion extends in a planar manner in a measurement plane parallel to the two non-parallel adjustment directions.
