Door handle assembly for a motor vehicle

A door handle assembly for a motor vehicle, comprising:

• a frame-like handle mounting,
• an operating handle, which is movably supported on the handle mounting for the opening of a door or a hatch on the motor vehicle by a user,
• a mechanical coupling device, by means of which a movement of the operating handle can be transferred to a vehicle-side closing assembly, and
• a locking device serving as a mass locking device, which is attached to the handle mounting and is designed such that, when subjected to the effects of an acceleration force, it can block an actuation of the closing assembly by means of the operating handle and/or by means of the coupling device,
• characterized in that the locking device has a locking element, which is movably coupled to the mechanical coupling device by means of a connecting element such that the locking element can rotate about a rotational axis by means of a pivotal movement of the mechanical coupling device, wherein the locking element has at least one locking member attached to it, which is designed to block the rotational movement of the locking element when a predetermined displacement speed for the operating handle has been exceeded.
