A circuit for measuring resistance for generating a voltage output signal (UA) inversely proportional to a resistance value of a resistor (RM) to be measured comprises a reference voltage source (UR), a first operational amplifier (OP1), whose non-inverting input is connected to the reference voltage source (UR) and whose inverting input is connected to a first terminal of the resistor to be measured (RM), the second terminal of which is connected to a reference potential, a series connection of a reference resistor (RR) and a further resistor (RL), which is connected between one output of the first operational amplifier (OP1) and the first terminal of the resistor (RM) to be measured, and a voltage subtraction circuit, which is connected on the input side to the output of the first operational amplifier (OP1) and to the common node (K1) of the reference resistor (RR) and of the further resistor (RL) and which generates on the output side a voltage signal referred to the reference potential. <IMAGE>
