Claim:
1. A sensor device comprising: at least one sensor element, and at least one magnet element that can move in relation to the at least one sensor element, wherein the at least one magnet element includes a plurality of differently magnetized regions, wherein the sensor element is configured to issue a sensor signal that represents a condition determined by a magnetization of a region of the magnet element located in the measurement range of the sensor element, wherein the sensor element determines the condition by means of one of at least three pre-defined sensor signal values, at least one additional sensor element, wherein the additional sensor element is configured to issue an additional sensor signal that represents a condition determined by a magnetization of a region of the magnet element located in the measurement range of the additional sensor element, wherein the additional sensor element determines the condition by means of one of at least three pre-defined sensor signal values, a signal output unit, which is configured to link the sensor signal value of the sensor signal from the sensor element with at least the sensor signal value of the additional sensor signal of the at least one additional sensor element to form a sensor signal word, wherein the signal output unit is further configured to output sensor signal words for different relative positions of the magnet element in relation to the sensor element and the additional sensor element, wherein sensor signal words have a Hamming spacing of at least two.
