A device for the automatic incremental cable length compensation of a Bowden cable system having a housing side and a Bowden tube side. The device includes a cable having a pulling axis, a part on the housing side including a number of detent elements axially arranged in a direction of the pulling axis, and a part on the Bowden tube side with two spaced apart stops axially aligned in the direction of the pulling axis and displaceable relative to the part on the housing side. The cable extends through both the part on the housing side and the part on the Bowden tube side. A spring is positioned between the part on the housing side and the part on the Bowden tube side for tensioning the cable. A locking element is displaceably mounted between the two axially aligned spaced stops in the part on the Bowden tube side so that a cable length compensating detent movement can only take place after overcoming a predetermined setting distance. The locking element includes at least one detent element directed radially outward from the pulling axis and being shaped to engage any of the detent elements on the part on the housing side.
