Claim:
1. A fill-level measurement arrangement for measuring a fill level of a fluid in a container, the fill-level measurement arrangement comprising: a circuit board; a plate-shaped carrier element; first and second sensors configured to measure a capacitance and disposed on the plate-shaped carrier element including the circuit board, the first and second sensors comprising geometrically identical thin elements; and a housing comprising a first width with respect to a first wall section and a second width with respect to a second wall section, wherein the first width is not equal to the second width, wherein the first sensor is disposed in a first height position on the plate-shaped carrier element, wherein the second sensor is disposed in a second height position on the plate-shaped carrier element, wherein the first sensor and the second sensor are connected to an evaluation electronics unit mounted on the circuit board for measuring a capacitance sensed by the first sensor and a capacitance sensed by the second sensor, wherein the first sensor is disposed with at least a first surface portion with zero clearance from the first wall section of the housing, and wherein the second sensor is disposed with at least a second surface portion at a clearance of 0.5 cm to 10 cm from the second wall section of the housing.
