A method monitoring a pneumatically actuatable brake for motor vehicles, wherein an air gap of the brake is ascertained using measured position values provided by a brake wear sensor, includes ascertaining a reference position value of the brake wear sensor during unbraked travel, determining multiple value pairs of discrete position values and a current brake pressure P at a same point in time during a braking procedure, ascertaining a characteristic function interpolating the value pairs, determining a characteristic position value according to the characteristic function for a selected brake pressure, and determining an actual value of the air gap by subtracting the reference position value from the characteristic position value.
