A device for detecting an angle of inclination of a vehicle having a chassis, a vehicle body carried by the chassis and connected by springs to unsprung components of the chassis. Vehicle wheels are coupled to the vehicle body by chassis control arms. Sensor arrangements, including at least one body sensor arrangement, are provided on the vehicle body and one or more chassis sensor arrangements is on the unsprung components of the chassis and/or the chassis control arms. Each sensor arrangement has acceleration sensors to detect translatory accelerations in different spatial directions and provide acceleration signals. An evaluation device connected to the sensor arrangements determines a pitch angle from the acceleration signals. Rotational movement sensors detect rotational movements about different axes and provide and body rotational movement signals characterizing these rotational movements. The pitch angle can be determined by the evaluation device using the body rotational movement signals.
