Passive magnetic position sensor

A filling level indicator (i) for determining a filling level in a tank, comprising:

• a resistor network (3);
• a contact element (5, 11) arranged spaced apart from the resistor network (3);
• and
• a magnetic element movable relative to the resistor network (3) and the contact element (5, 11),
• wherein:
• the contact element (5, 11) has a contact region (6, 14) deflectable by the magnetic element,
• the contact region (6, 14) is deflectable so as to produce an electrically conductive connection between the contact region (6, 14) and the resistor network (3),
• the contact region (6, 14) comprises a planar tape-shaped element that is partially deflectable by a magnetic force of the magnetic element, and
• the contact region (6, 14) has at least two portions (7, 8, 12, 13) that are arranged mutually adjacent to, and mutually spaced apart from, one another.
