A rotation-rate sensor having a substrate, the substrate having a main-extension-plane, and the rotation-rate sensor includes at least one first and one second mass-element which are oscillate-able, and a first main-extension-direction of the substrate points from the first mass-element to the second mass-element, and a coupling-structure is situated in the first main-extension-direction between the first and second mass-element, in which a first coupling-region of the coupling-structure is situated in a first function-layer, and a first mass-region of the first mass-element is situated in the first function-layer and a second mass-region of the first mass-element is situated in a second function-layer, the first function-layer being situated in an extension-direction perpendicular to the main-extension-plane between the substrate and the second function-layer, a second main-extension-direction being situated perpendicular to the first main-extension-direction, and the first coupling-region having a greater extension in the first main-extension-direction than in the second main-extension-direction.
