Claim 20:
21. A method for capturing a relative position of a first soft magnetic element, the method comprising:
capturing a magnetic field, which changes with the relative position of the first soft magnetic element at a location of a sensor device, using the sensor device; and
influencing the magnetic field at the location of the sensor device in a symmetrical manner with respect to the first soft magnetic element and based on the sensor device utilizing a second soft magnetic element,
wherein the second soft magnetic element is configured to cause a distortion of an interference field caused by the first soft magnetic element and which is superimposed on the magnetic field, wherein the distortion caused by the second soft magnetic element is opposite a distortion of the interference field that is caused by the first soft magnetic element.
