1. A cable routing device for connecting a line strand to a carrier element which can be moved with respect to a vehicle, wherein the cable routing device has the carrier element, fastened pivotably to the vehicle, and a cable store, in which at least part of the line strand is accommodated,
wherein a spring element is arranged between the carrier element and the cable store, by which spring element the line strand is supported loosely,
wherein the line strand is supported by the spring element in such a way that only a sliding friction resulting from a weight of the line strand has to be overcome for axial movement of the line strand in relation to the spring element,
wherein the line strand is inserted in the cable store as a loop, and
wherein regardless of the relative position of the carrier element, a direction of the loop is always the same.
