A method estimates an articulation angle between a towing vehicle and a trailer with respect to a pivot. The method determines a distance between an instantaneous center of velocity of the towing vehicle and a center of at least one axle of the towing vehicle representative for a rotation of the towing vehicle about the instantaneous center of velocity of the towing vehicle and/or a distance between an instantaneous center of velocity of the trailer and a center of at least one axle of the trailer representative for a rotation of the trailer about the instantaneous center of velocity of the trailer. The method determines at least one instantaneous speed representative for a wheel speed of at least one wheel of the towing vehicle and/or the trailer, wherein the at least one instantaneous speed refers to the at least one determined distance, and estimates the articulation angle based on the at least one determined instantaneous speed and the at least one determined distance.
