Claim Text:
1. A yaw rate sensor, comprising: a drive mass element arranged above a surface of a substrate and drivable to vibrate by a drive device along a first axis extending along the surface; a detection mass element deflectable along a second axis under the influence of a Coriolis force; a detection device adapted to detect deflection of the detection mass element along the second axis; an additional drive mass element arranged above the surface and drivable by an additional drive device along the first axis; an additional detection mass element deflectable under the influence of the Coriolis force along the second axis extending perpendicular to the surface; and an additional detection device adapted to detect deflection of the additional detection mass element along the second axis, wherein the second axis extends perpendicular to the surface, wherein the drive mass element is directly connected to the substrate by at least one drive mass spring, wherein a vibration mass element and an additional vibration mass element are provided, the drive mass element is connected to the vibration mass element by at least one vibration mass spring, the additional drive mass element is connected to the additional vibration mass element by at least one additional vibration mass spring, the vibration mass element is connected to the detection mass element by at least one detection mass spring, and the additional vibration mass element is connected to the additional detection mass element by at least one additional detection mass spring.
