The present invention relates to an arrangement (1) for assisting a parking brake (10), which parking brake (10) comprises a brake lever (12) which is supported in a carrier device (14) such that it is pivotable between a release position and a locking position and is able to be coupled to a braking system by means of a transmission means. The arrangement (1) comprises a lifting element (20) with an energy storage unit (22), which is operatively connected to the brake lever (12). The operative connection comprises a redirecting element (30) which is supported in a way pivotable about a pivot axis (32) and is arranged in such a way that the redirecting element couples the lifting element (20) to the brake lever (12).
