A parking brake, particularly for a vehicle, includes a brake piston, supported to be movable along a longitudinal axis between a braking position and an open position, by which a brake disk is immobilizable by applying a braking force, when the brake piston is in the braking position, a drive unit for moving the brake piston along the longitudinal axis, and a toggle lever interacting with the brake piston and having at least first and second legs. The first and second legs are connected rotatably with a joint element and are actuatable by the drive unit, such that the toggle lever provides the braking force and applies it to the brake piston. An immobilizing device having such a parking brake, as well as a vehicle having the immobilizing device, and a method for immobilizing a vehicle by such an immobilizing device are also provided.
