A woven fabric having at least three layers that are arranged one above the other, wherein one of the layers forms a first woven fabric layer that comprises electrically conductive warp threads and/or weft threads, wherein a further one of the layers forms a second woven fabric layer that comprises electrically conductive warp threads and/or weft threads, wherein another further one of the layers forms an intermediate layer that is arranged between the first woven fabric layer and the second woven fabric layer, wherein the first woven fabric layer, the second woven fabric layer and the intermediate layer form a sensor arrangement that comprises an electrical characteristic that changes while a force is acting upon the layers (21, 22, 23), wherein the first woven fabric layer comprises electrically conductive strips and electrically non-conductive strips that extend in a warp direction or in a weft direction, said strips being arranged adjacent to one another in an alternating manner, wherein the second woven fabric layer comprises electrically conductive strips and electrically non-conductive strips that extend in the warp direction or in the weft direction, said strips being arranged adjacent to one another in an alternating manner and extending in a transverse manner with respect to the strips of the first woven fabric layer, characterized in that the first woven fabric layer and the second woven fabric layer are electrically connected on a common side of the woven fabric to an evaluating circuit via an electrically conductive connecting conductor 48, such that an electrical contacting of the woven fabric is achieved at a single woven fabric edge. wherein one of the layers forms a first woven fabric layer that comprises electrically conductive warp threads and/or weft threads, wherein a further one of the layers forms a second woven fabric layer that comprises electrically conductive warp threads and/or weft threads, wherein another further one of the layers forms an intermediate layer that is arranged between the first woven fabric layer and the second woven fabric layer, wherein the first woven fabric layer, the second woven fabric layer and the intermediate layer form a sensor arrangement that comprises an electrical characteristic that changes while a force is acting upon the layers (21, 22, 23), wherein the first woven fabric layer comprises electrically conductive strips and electrically non-conductive strips that extend in a warp direction or in a weft direction, said strips being arranged adjacent to one another in an alternating manner, wherein the second woven fabric layer comprises electrically conductive strips and electrically non-conductive strips that extend in the warp direction or in the weft direction, said strips being arranged adjacent to one another in an alternating manner and extending in a transverse manner with respect to the strips of the first woven fabric layer, characterized in that the first woven fabric layer and the second woven fabric layer are electrically connected on a common side of the woven fabric to an evaluating circuit via an electrically conductive connecting conductor 48, such that an electrical contacting of the woven fabric is achieved at a single woven fabric edge.
