The disclosure relates to a driver airbag module for installing on a steering device which can be rotated about a steering axis, comprising an inflatable airbag and a module housing with a housing axis which is substantially parallel to the steering axis, said module housing defining a receiving chamber for the folded airbag. The receiving chamber is delimited by a housing front wall which faces a vehicle occupant when the driver airbag module is installed, an opposing housing rear wall which is axially spaced therefrom, and a housing lateral wall which extends between the housing front wall and the housing rear wall. The housing lateral wall has an opening section via which the airbag is unfolded when the driver airbag module is activated, and the housing front wall is inclined relative to the housing rear wall. The disclosure also relates to a steering device comprising such driver airbag module.
