1. A bearing assembly comprising at least one first bearing element and one second bearing element which are rotatably connected relative to each other along a common longitudinal axis, wherein the bearing assembly comprises:
a brake device which inhibits a relative rotation of the at least first and the at least second bearing elements to each other by a frictional force generated by the brake device; and
an adjustment device by which a brake force acting during the relative rotation of the at least first and the at least second bearing elements to each other may be modified,
wherein the adjustment device comprises at least two wedge elements which rest on respective wedge surface thereof on each other and which are movable in a sliding down manner against each other in order to modify the brake force, and
wherein the at least two wedge elements are mounted to one of the at least first or the at least second bearing elements by a common guide.
