Claim:
1. A Hall effect sensor arrangement, comprising the following features: at least four, (2×n,) Hall effect components, (where n=integer and n≧2), wherein the Hall effect components each have two contact terminals and a signal terminal wherein the contact terminals of the at least four Hall effect components are interconnected with one another such that the at least four Hall effect components are arranged together in a parallel-series interconnection, and a control device which is couplable to the signal terminals of the at least four Hall effect components in a plurality of operating phases such that in the different operating phases at least one of the Hall effect components responds to a first magnetic field component in a first detection direction, and at least another of the Hall effect components responds to a second magnetic field component in a second detection direction, wherein the second detection direction is different than the first detection direction.
