Abstract
A sensor device comprises a magnet having a magnetization in a first direction. Furthermore, the sensor device comprises a differential magnetic field sensor arranged on the magnet and having a first sensor element and a second sensor element, wherein the sensor elements are spaced apart in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first sensor element and the second sensor element are designed to detect a magnetic field component in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and perpendicular to the second direction.
