A measuring device for determining the position of a control element, such as a throttle valve in which a temperature-resistant Hal sensor (4) cooperates with a permanent magnet (2), which is connected to the control element by a spindle (3), in order to obviate the need for a conventional mechanical potentiometer. By virtue of the Hall effect, the Hall sensor (4) produces during movement of the control element and thus of the position of the permanent magnet (2) relative to the Hall sensor (4), an output signal (Ua) that is preferably linearly proportional to the movement of the control element. The Hall sensor (4) is programmed to correct temperature, related measurement errors in the permanent magnet.
