A Hall sensor has at least three Hall sensor elements (1, 2,..., 94) which each have at least three element connections (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H) and are connected in a circuit grid having a structure which is more than one-dimensional, and at least three sensor connections (EXT_A, EXT_B, EXT_C, EXT_D) for making contact with the Hall sensor. In this case, each sensor connection (EXT_A, EXT_B, EXT_C, EXT_D) is connected to at least one of the Hall sensor elements (1, 2,..., 94) at one of the element connections (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H) thereof.
