An apparatus for measuring the mass of a flowing medium and a method for producing the apparatus. The apparatus includes a carrier, to which at least one resistor layer is applied. To calibrate the resistance value of the resistor layer, material can be removed in a calibration zone on the end of the resistor layer remote from the incident direction of flow. To this end, the resistor layer is connected with a current source furnishing a constant current. The temperature of the resistor layer is measured by means of a temperature measuring device and compared in an electronic device with a predetermined temperature, and the electronic device, upon a deviation of the measured temperature from the predetermined temperature triggers a material removing device for the removal of resistor material in the calibration zone (trimming zone).
