The invention relates to a door handle, comprising a handle located on the visible side of the door and a support (10) for said handle which is fixed onto the reverse side of the door. The handle has connecting elements at both extremities which penetrate recesses in the door, whereby one extremity is connected to a lever (13') which is mounted on a pivoting support (10). A housing which can contain a locking cylinder is inserted into the support (10) next to the handle. According to the invention, in order to simplify the assembly of the handle, a retaining element (25) is positioned between the support (10) and the lever (13') which, in its usual active retaining position, secures the lever in a defined pivoted position, pointing outwards. The handle can be connected easily to the lever in this pivoted position. However, when the housing is inserted into the support, the retaining element (25) is displaced into its inactive position, where it releases the lever (13').

1. An exterior door handle for vehicles, the exterior door handle comprising: a supporting member (10) mounted on a back side (21) of a door (20); a handle (30), arranged on an exposed side (22) of the door (20) and configured to be moved from a rest position on the door (20) into an actuating position relative to locking elements by a pulling or rotating movement, wherein the handle (30) has handle ends (31, 32) having connecting portions, wherein the connecting portions protrude through door recesses (23, 24); a lever (13) pivotably supported on the supporting member (10); wherein at least one of the handle ends (31) of the handle (30) is connected to the lever (13), wherein, for attaching the at least one handle end (31) on the lever (13), the lever (13) is moved from an initial position into a rotated position (13') close to the door recess (23); a casing (34) insertable into the supporting member (10) from the exposed side (22) of the door (20), wherein the casing (34), when inserted, is attached to the supporting member (10); a retaining element (25) arranged between the supporting member (10) and the lever (13) and adapted to be automatically controlled between an active retaining position and an inactive release position; wherein, when mounting the supporting member (10) on the door (20), the retaining element (25), for connecting the handle (30), is first positioned in the retaining position in which the retaining member (25) holds the lever (13) in the rotated position (13'); wherein the casing (34), upon insertion (35) into the supporting member (10), automatically moves the retaining element (25) into the release position so that the lever (13) is returned into the initial position. 2. The exterior door handle according to claim 1, wherein the retaining element (25) is comprised of a leaf spring engaging in the holding position the lever (13) or the support (10). 3. The exterior door handle according to claim 2, wherein the lever (13) has a shoulder (18) and the leaf spring has an end portion with a cutout (28), wherein the cutout (28), in the rotated position (13'), engages from behind the shoulder (18) formed by a rear surface of the lever (13). 4. The exterior door handle according to claim 3, wherein the leaf spring is attached (27) to the supporting member (10) and has an elastic, V-shaped bent end (26) protruding into a path of an insertion movement (35) of the casing (34, 37), wherein the casing (34, 37), when being inserted, bends the elastic end (26) of the leaf spring backwardly to such an extent that the leaf spring no longer protrudes into a path of a rotating movement of the shoulder (18). 5. The exterior door handle according to claim 1, wherein the casing has a lock cylinder acting on the lock elements.
