It is proposed in the case of an electromotive power steering as a steering aid for motor vehicles and similar, particularly for the speed range during parking (parking power steering), having a reduction gear between the servo-motor and the steering column or the drive leading on to the mechanical wheel displacement, that at least one clutch block be so arranged that it creates a drive connection from the servo-motor drive to the steering gear side of the steering column when, upon a moment being exerted manually at the steering wheel, a pawl connected to the steering wheel side of the steering column produces the requisite clutch pressure by mechanical action on the at least one clutch block, while the gear wheels acted upon by the clutch are formed as ring gears fitted to a carrier flange which is joined firmly to the driven section of the steering column so that it cannot rotate.
