Abstract
A belt lock is provided with a state sensor for detection of the locking state of a safety belt system, for example in an motor vehicle. The belt lock includes a locking mechanism which is located in a belt lock housing, which is formed from an upper shell and a lower shell, for an inserted belt tongue which has a component which changes its location from a first end position into a second end position when the locking mechanism is actuated. Actuation of the locking mechanism can be monitored by the state sensor. The state sensor is made as an electronic sensor element which is located in the lower shell.
