A hydraulic steering unit (2) includes a steering unit (2) including a supply port arrangement having a supply port (P) and a return port (T), a working port arrangement having two working ports (LR), a steering valve arrangement having two valve elements (32, 33) arranged in a housing (30, 38, 39) and being moveable in relation to each other to change characteristics of orifices, and a measuring motor (9) arranged in a line between the steering valve arrangement and one of the working ports (LR). A hydraulic steering unit should create similar end stop sealings in both steering directions. To this end, backpressure means are provided generating a backpressure on the measuring motor (9), wherein the backpressure means are controlled by the valve element (32, 33), and friction means (43, 43′) are provided between one of the valve elements (33) and the housing (30, 38, 39) or a rotating part of the measuring motor (9) and the housing (30, 38, 39), respectively.
