The invention relates to a locking cylinder (10) having a key withdrawal lock, a cylinder housing (11) and a cylinder core (12) rotatably mounted in the cylinder housing (11), wherein a reversible key can be inserted into a keyway (13) of the cylinder core (12), and wherein an annular disc (20) is arranged in a stationary manner behind a cylinder core head (14), wherein the annular disc (20) has at least one axial, groove-like cutout (23) on the inner circumference (21), and wherein the reversible key has grooves on the key shank that extend opposite one another in the radial direction, the dimensions of which correspond to the groove-like cutout (23) of the annular disc (20) and whose position in the axial longitudinal direction on the key shank enables the reversible key, when fully inserted into the keyway (13), to be rotated relative to the stationary annular disc (20).The annular disc (20) has a pin (24) on the outer circumference (22), wherein the pin (24) engages in a groove (31) of a sliding block (30) fixedly arranged on the cylinder housing (11), so that the annular disc (20) is arranged essentially stationary.
