The invention relates to an automatic train coupling with a coupling head which comprises a coupling lock with a latch, wherein the coupling lock is configured as a rotary lock with a coupling eye and a central piece, and the central piece can be rotated about a main axis between a coupled position and a decoupled position. The coupling eye has a first end, which is connected to the central piece in a rotatable manner about a coupling eye axis, and a second free end, and the central piece has jaws which are designed to receive the second end of a coupling eye of a mating coupling head. The automatic train coupling comprises a decoupling device which comprises a motor that is connected to the central piece via a drive connection in order to rotate the central piece out of the coupled position and into the decoupled position. The latch of the coupling lock is designed to be released by moving the mating coupling head against the coupling head in order to rotate the central piece about the main axis out of the decoupled position or a coupling-ready position, which is offset relative to the decoupled position in the direction of the coupled position, and into the coupled position. The automatic train coupling according to the invention is characterized by a locking mechanism which can be actuated in a selective manner, said locking mechanism being activatable in the decoupled or coupled position of the central piece in order to block a rotation of the central piece out of the decoupled position or the coupling-ready position and into the coupled position when the latch of the coupling lock is released.
