A kink angle sensor arrangement for a vehicle combination includes a connecting element with a longitudinal center axis, a first articulation piece on the connecting element, and a second articulation piece for connection to a towing or towed vehicle. The first articulation piece is configured to be mounted rotatably on the second articulation piece such that the first articulation piece can twist about a second axis of rotation with respect to the second articulation piece. The arrangement includes a first coupling piece configured to be detachably mechanically connected to a second coupling piece to prevent twisting of the first coupling piece with respect to the second coupling piece, and a sensor system configured to detect a rotated position and/or a rotational movement of the first articulation piece, and to generate and output a sensor signal characterizing the rotated position and/or the rotational movement of the first articulation piece.
