A method for electronically setting the brake force distribution of a desired total braking force (F Total) in partial braking forces (F 1, F 2, F 3) to the axles (1, 2, 3) of a motor vehicle in dependence on the differential slip (δλ2, δλ3, λ 12, λ 13) wherein the differential slip (δλ2, δλ3, λ 12, λ 13) are detected as the difference of the slip values (λ 1, λ 2, λ 3) of a variable representing the slip at the respective axle (1, 2, 3) and are assigned to a relevant pair (15, 16) of axles (1,2,3), characterized in that one of the axles (1, 2, 3) is selected as a reference axle and the respective differential slip (δλ2,δλ3) of a pair (15, 16) of axles (1, 2, 3) is determined as the difference of the slip value (λ 1) at the reference axle and of the respective slip value (λ 2, λ 3) of one of the further axles (2, 3), a threshold value is prescribed for the differential slip (δλ2,δλ3) and, in the presence of differential slip (δλ2, δλ3) below the prescribed threshold value a partial brake force (F 1) at the reference axle, - in a first theorem the desired total braking force (F Total) of the motor vehicle is assumed as the sum of the partial braking forces (F 1, F 2, F 3) of the axles (1, 2, 3) considered in the brake force distribution, - a slip-force ratio (δλ/δF) 1, (δλ/δF) 2, (δλ/δF) 3) is prescribed or established for the axles (1, 2, 3), - in a second theorem the differential slip (δλ2,δλ3) is assumed as the difference of the respective products of a slip-force ratio ((δλ/δF) 1, (δλ/δF) 2, (δλ/δF) 3) and of the partial braking force (F 1, F 2, F 3) at the respective axle (1, 2, 3) considered in the brake force distribution, - at least one desired differential slip (λ 12, λ 13) determined in advance is prescribed as differential slip (δλ2, δλ3) for the respective pairs (15, 16) of axles (1, 2, 3), and - from a linking of the first theorem with the second theorem, with consideration of the slip-force ratios ((δλ/δF) 1, (δλ/δF) 2, (δλ/δF) 3) of the axles (1, 2, 3) and of the prescribed desired differential slip (λ 12, λ 13), the partial braking force (F 1) at the reference axle is established and set. - in a first theorem the desired total braking force (F Total) of the motor vehicle is assumed as the sum of the partial braking forces (F 1, F 2, F 3) of the axles (1, 2, 3) considered in the brake force distribution, - a slip-force ratio (δλ/δF) 1, (δλ/δF) 2, (δλ/δF) 3) is prescribed or established for the axles (1, 2, 3), - in a second theorem the differential slip (δλ2,δλ3) is assumed as the difference of the respective products of a slip-force ratio ((δλ/δF) 1, (δλ/δF) 2, (δλ/δF) 3) and of the partial braking force (F 1, F 2, F 3) at the respective axle (1, 2, 3) considered in the brake force distribution, - at least one desired differential slip (λ 12, λ 13) determined in advance is prescribed as differential slip (δλ2, δλ3) for the respective pairs (15, 16) of axles (1, 2, 3), and - from a linking of the first theorem with the second theorem, with consideration of the slip-force ratios ((δλ/δF) 1, (δλ/δF) 2, (δλ/δF) 3) of the axles (1, 2, 3) and of the prescribed desired differential slip (λ 12, λ 13), the partial braking force (F 1) at the reference axle is established and set.
