A compact adjustment device for steering columns of vehicles has a length-adjustable steering shaft to which a steering element can be connected. It includes at least one drive unit for length adjustment of the steering shaft. The steering shaft has a guide tube which is non-displaceably connected to a holder and into which an axially displaceable inner tube projects. It is drive-connected to the drive unit and can be connected to the steering element. Only a single drive unit is required to adjust the length of the steering shaft. It is used to axially move the inner tube to change the length of the steering shaft. The steering element is attached to the inner tube and can then be adjusted to the most favorable driving position using the inner tube. Since only one drive unit is required for the length adjustment, the design effort of the adjustment device is limited.
