Operating device for a motor vehicle, method for operating a motor vehicle with the aid of the operating device, control unit, and motor vehicle

An operating device for a motor vehicle, comprising:

• a touch-sensitive operating element with a frame element and a central region, and
• precisely one detection element,
• wherein the frame element has a touch-sensitive operating interface, at least partially frames the central region, and extends conically towards the central region,
• wherein the touch-sensitive operating interface has at least two predetermined operating regions corresponding to touch positions arranged about the touch-sensitive operating interface for activating an operating function assigned to a respective operating region,
• wherein the touch-sensitive operating element is displaceable at least partially along a translation axis that intersects the touch-sensitive operating interface,
• wherein the detection element is arranged facing an inner side of the touch-sensitive operating element which faces away from the touch-sensitive operating interface,
• wherein the detection element is configured to detect a displacement of the touch-sensitive operating element along the translation axis,
• wherein a first operation is activated in response to a first operating action, the first operating action comprising a detected movement of an object across two or more of the at least two predetermined operating regions, and
• wherein a second operation is activated in response to a second operating action, the second operating action comprising (1) a detected presence of the object on one of the at least two predetermined operating regions and (2) displacement of the touch-sensitive operating element along the translation axis.
