1. A position detection device comprising:

  • first and second electrode pairs,an electrically conductive body (10) that forms an electrical resistor which is electrically connected to electrodes (17, 18, 19, 20) of the first and the second electrode pairs and which extends in a first direction (y), between the electrodes (17, 18) of the first electrode pair, and in a second direction (x), between the electrodes (19, 20) of the second electrode pair, anda measurement electrode (11) being in electrically conductive contact with a surface (12) of a measurement area (23) of the body (10) located between the electrodes (17, 18, 19, 20) of the first and the second electrode pairs and being movable in relation to the first and the second electrode pairs,at least one voltmeter (24) being electrically connected to the measurement electrode (11), which voltmeter also being electrically connectable to at least one of a first electrode (18) of the first electrode pair and a first electrode (20) of the second electrode pair, for measuring an electric voltage between the first electrode (18;

    20) concerned and the measurement electrode (11).
