1. A method for operating a steering system, the method comprising:
providing an electromechanical steering assistance having a plurality of redundant control paths, each control path including a control unit, a power unit and a winding circuit of a servomotor;
using a correcting-variable unit in each control unit to make a correcting variable available in dependence on input variables;
averaging the correcting variables of all of the correcting-variable units;
using each control unit to make a set correcting variable available in dependence on the averaged correcting variable; and
applying correcting torque or forces with the winding circuit of each control path in dependence on the set correcting variable made available by its respective control unit.
