1. A device for measuring body height of a person, comprising: at least one emitter for generating a primary ultrasound signal; at least one sensor for picking up a measuring ultrasound signal, the emitter and the sensor being arranged in a common geometric area of an inner border of a building room; a control device, the emitter as well as the sensor being coupled to the control device without contact; a display device coupled to the control device, wherein the sensor is arranged above the person in the vertical direction in the area of a ceiling of the room; and a projector for projecting a location marking below the sensor in the vertical direction on a floor of the room for the person to be measured so that a vertical connecting line extends from the location marking through the person to the sensor during a measurement operation, wherein the control device carries out reference measurements using the emitter and the sensor to take into consideration temperature changes and/or humidity changes, and further carries out a measurement of a distance between the floor and the sensor.
