A micromechanical spring (10, 20), comprising at least two bar sections (11) which, in the undeflected state of the spring, are oriented substantially parallel to each other or are at an angle width of less than 45° with respect to each other, and one or more connecting sections (12) which connect the bar sections (11) to each other, wherein the bar sections (11) can be displaced relative to each other in the longitudinal direction thereof, and wherein the spring (10, 20) has, in the direction of the bar sections (11) thereof, a substantially adjustable, in particular linear force-deflecting behaviour.
