Method for positioning a motor vehicle in a charging position suitable for contactless charging of an energy store of the motor vehicle using a charging plate, comprising the steps: a) Detection of marking sensor data with a sensor device of the motor vehicle, wherein the marking sensor data describe a marking, which is arranged in a stationary manner in the vicinity of the charging plate and spaced apart from the charging plate, b) loading a piece of positional information describing a relative position of the charging plate to the marking from a storage device by a control device of the motor vehicle, wherein the piece of positional information was previously determined by the motor vehicle or a further motor vehicle and stored on the storage device, and wherein several potential pieces of positional information assigned to different charging plates are stored on the storage device, of which one is selected as the positional information to be loaded in dependence on a piece of positional information detected by a position detection device of the motor vehicle, c) determination of a piece of marking information describing a relative position of the marking relative to the motor vehicle from the marking sensor data by the control device, d) determination of a piece of charging plate information describing a relative position of the charging plate to the motor vehicle from the marking information and the positional information by the control device, e) guidance of the motor vehicle into the charging position by triggering at least one driving instruction depending on the charging plate information to a driver of the motor vehicle and/or at least one longitudinally and/or transversely guiding driving engagement dependent on the charging plate information by the control device. a) Detection of marking sensor data with a sensor device of the motor vehicle, wherein the marking sensor data describe a marking, which is arranged in a stationary manner in the vicinity of the charging plate and spaced apart from the charging plate, b) loading a piece of positional information describing a relative position of the charging plate to the marking from a storage device by a control device of the motor vehicle, wherein the piece of positional information was previously determined by the motor vehicle or a further motor vehicle and stored on the storage device, and wherein several potential pieces of positional information assigned to different charging plates are stored on the storage device, of which one is selected as the positional information to be loaded in dependence on a piece of positional information detected by a position detection device of the motor vehicle, c) determination of a piece of marking information describing a relative position of the marking relative to the motor vehicle from the marking sensor data by the control device, d) determination of a piece of charging plate information describing a relative position of the charging plate to the motor vehicle from the marking information and the positional information by the control device, e) guidance of the motor vehicle into the charging position by triggering at least one driving instruction depending on the charging plate information to a driver of the motor vehicle and/or at least one longitudinally and/or transversely guiding driving engagement dependent on the charging plate information by the control device.
