1. A brake system for automotive vehicles, said system comprising a brake pressure transmitter linked to wheel brakes through pressure medium lines, sensor means for detecting the braking effect at wheels to which the brakes are respectively attached, separating valve means for shutting off the flow of pressure medium in one switching position and located in at least one of the pressure medium paths leading to the wheel brakes, monitoring means responsive to the sensor signals for detecting failure of one wheel brake upon operation of the brakes, said monitoring means automatically switching over the separating valve means in the path leading to the failed wheel brake into a closed valve position, shutting off its flow of pressure medium, said sensor means being configured in the shape of electrical or electro-magnetic measured value pick-up units positioned at the individual wheels and generating an electric signal corresponding to the rotational behavior of the relevant wheel for input to an electronic linkage switching circuit.
