A discharging device for discharging electrostatic charges from a shaft includes a conductor arrangement having at least two bending elastic conductors arranged on a holder and made of a carbon-fiber arrangement. The holder has two holder legs arranged on a common pivot axis, each holder leg serving to accommodate a terminal section of a conductor. The holder legs are pivotable relative to each other to enable a holder angle (α) formed between the holder legs to be adjusted. The holder legs are lockable in a defined pivoted position.
