Abstract
In a method for displaying on a display device the surroundings of a vehicle, the surroundings are detected by at least one detection sensor as an image of the surroundings while the vehicle is traveling or at a standstill. A surroundings image from a given surrounding area is ascertained by the detection sensor in different vehicle positions, and/or at least one surroundings image from the given surrounding area is ascertained by each of at least two detection sensors situated at a distance from one another, and in each case a composite surroundings image is obtained from the surroundings images and displayed by the display device.
