Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus for contactlessly detecting the absolute position of an element which can move relative to magnetosensitive sensors and has a magnetic field source fastened on the movable element, wherein two magnetosensitive sensors in a plane which are spatially offset in the direction of movement are arranged at a distance from the magnetic field source. Provision is made for the apparatus to be redundant such that said apparatus has two sensor elements, wherein two such magnetosensitive sensors are arranged in each sensor element.
