The invention relates to a device for detecting the angle position of the steering wheel of a motor vehicle. The aim of the invention is to provide a device of this kind in which the technical problem of determining the absolute angle position of the steering wheel in a measuring range greater than 360&deg; is solved without the need for mechanical reduction gears and such like. This is achieved by means of a measurement system comprising at least one coil system which cooperates with an electrically conductive structure configured on/in a flexible flat cable ( ). The flexible flat cable ( ) is wound in a winding gap situated between the outer lateral surface ( ) of an inner cylindrical rotor ( ) joined to the steering gear shaft and the inner lateral surface ( ) of an outer cylindrical stator ( ) joined to the steering column, in such a way that its one end is fixed to the rotor ( ) and its other to the stator ( ).
