Abstract:
1. A security element for securing value documents, comprising: at least one magnetic area which continuously contains magnetic material, and at least one gap area which continuously contains no magnetic material or which continuously has a lower remanent flux density than the magnetic area, wherein the at least one magnetic area and the at least one gap area being disposed along a given direction, wherein the at least one magnetic area is limited steplike along the given direction by a first and second magnetization step, the first magnetization step having an increase in the remanent flux density and/or concentration and/or a layer thickness and/or a width of the magnetic material, and the second magnetization step having a drop in the remanent flux density and/or a concentration and/or a layer thickness and/or a width of the magnetic material.
