The micro-electromechanical device has a substrate. Integrated into the substrate is a micromechanical component that has a bending element which can be bent reversibly and which has a first end connected to the substrate and extends from the first end over a free space. The bending element has at least one web having two side edges, the course of which is defined by depressions introduced into the bending element and adjacent to the side edges. In order to form a homogenization region located within the web, in which mechanical stresses occurring during bending of the bending element are substantially equal, the mutual spacing of the side edges of the web decreases, as viewed from the first end of the bending element. The device further comprises at least one microelectronic component that is sensitive to mechanical stresses and embedded in the web in the homogenization region of the latter.
