Claim:
1. A micromechanical device, comprising: a substrate having a principal extension plane; a first electrode having a plurality of spaced apart first sub-electrodes; a further first electrode having a plurality of spaced apart further first sub-electrodes interleaved with the first sub-electrodes; a second electrode suspended from the substrate above the first and further first electrodes by at least one spring located between the second electrode and a drive assemblage; and the drive assemblage, for producing a relative motion of the second electrode with respect to the first and further first electrodes alternately between an overlapping position, with the first electrode and the second electrode being disposed one above another in a projection direction extending perpendicularly to the principal extension plane of the substrate, and a further overlapping position, with the further first electrode and the second electrode being disposed one above another in the projection direction.
