A device for acquiring a surrounding environment of a vehicle. The device includes a sensor housing and at least one sensor situated inside the sensor housing. The sensor housing has a transmit/receive window. The device has a cover made transparent for the sensor signals, and the cover is designed to cover the transmit/receive window, and thus the at least one sensor, relative to an external surrounding environment of the device. The device has a cleaning unit that is situated on an outer side of the sensor housing and is movable along the sensor housing by a drive unit. The cleaning unit is designed to remove contamination from the cover of the transmit/receive window. The cleaning unit is realized as a space that is closed relative to the external surrounding environment.
