1. A sensor system, comprising:

  • a first sensor-element block including at least one first sensor element and one second sensor element; and

    a second sensor-element block including at least one third sensor element;

    wherein the third sensor element is situated between the first sensor element and the second sensor element;

    a fourth sensor element assigned to the second sensor-element block, wherein the second sensor element is situated between the third sensor element and the fourth sensor element;

    a third sensor-element block including at least one fifth sensor element situated between the second sensor element and the third sensor element,wherein the sensor-element blocks are interlaced so that at least one sensor element of at least one sensor-element block is disposed between at least two sensor elements of one other sensor-element block,wherein the first and second sensor elements are connected via a first multiplexer to a first evaluating unit, and wherein the third and fourth sensor elements are connected via a second multiplexer to a second evaluating unit, and wherein the fifth sensor element is connected via a third multiplexer to a third evaluating unit such that each sensor-element block is assigned exactly one multiplexer and one evaluating unit.
