1. A micromechanical structure for an acceleration sensor, comprising:

  • a seismic mass that is constituted definedly asymmetrically with reference to the rotational Z axis of the structure of the acceleration sensor; and

    spring elements that are fastened on the seismic mass and on at least one fastening element;

    wherein a rotational motion of the seismic mass is generatable by the spring elements substantially only upon an acceleration in a defined sensing direction within a plane constituted substantially orthogonally to the rotational Z axis;

    wherein the asymmetry of the seismic mass is brought about by a first additional mass;

    wherein a second additional mass is provided in addition to the seismic mass.
