A method is provided for controlling a brake system of a motor vehicle having a brake device () with a hydraulic brake unit () and a recuperation brake unit (). The method includes calculating (S) a hydraulic brake force characteristic curve (B) of the hydraulic brake unit () on the basis of at least one detected characteristic of the brake system, selecting (S) a generator-based brake force characteristic curve (G-G) of the recuperation brake unit () on the basis of a predefined criterion and as a function of the calculated hydraulic brake force characteristic curve (B), and controlling (S) the hydraulic brake unit () and the recuperation brake unit () in accordance with a detected degree of actuation of the brake pedal (), the calculated hydraulic brake force characteristic curves (B), and the selected generator-based brake force characteristic curve (G-G).
