A parking lock device includes a parking lock wheel, a locking pawl moveable between a locked position and an unlocked position, and an operating piston displaceable along a displacement axis. A movement of the locking pawl between the locked position and the unlocked position can be effected. The parking lock device also includes a latch lever pivotable about a pivot axis, and a solenoid by means of which the latch lever can be pivoted from one position to the other position. The pivot axis runs perpendicularly to the displacement axis.
