Abstract

A distance measuring device (100) is provided, comprising a first sensing module (110), a second sensing module (120), a reference device (130), and an evaluating module (140). The first sensing module and the second sensing module are arranged on a horizontal base line (150). Each one of the first and second sensing module is configured to detect the strength of a magnetic field (50) and each one of the first and second sensing module has a first sensing direction (y) and a second sensing direction (x).
