A method for offset calibration of a rotation rate sensor signal of a rotation rate sensor. In a first step, an ascertainment is made that the rotation rate sensor is in an idle state. In a second step, after the first step, a filter parameter is determined as a function of the measured rotation rate sensor values, measured in the idle state, of the rotation rate sensor. In a third step, after the second step, a filtered measured rotation rate sensor value is determined with the aid of the filter parameter. An offset is determined with the aid of the filtered measured rotation rate sensor value.
