A Hall effect sensor arrangement comprises at least four (2×n) Hall effect components (where n=integer and n≧2), wherein the Hall effect components each have two contact terminals C1, C2 and a signal terminal T1-T4, wherein the contact terminals of the at least four Hall effect components are interconnected with one another such that the at least four Hall effect components are arranged together in a parallel-series interconnection, and comprises a control device 150, which is couplable to the signal terminals T1-T4 of the at least four Hall effect components in a plurality of operating phases such that in the different operating phases at least one of the Hall effect components responds to a first magnetic field component B1 in a first detection direction, and at least another of the Hall effect components responds to a second magnetic field component B2 in a second detection direction, wherein the second detection direction is different than the first detection direction.
