The invention relates to a vibration sensor having an oscillating unit (2) which consists of a membrane (3) that has an inner surface (4) and an outer surface (5) and optionally at least one oscillating element (6) fixed to the outer surface (5) of the membrane (3), a transmitter/receiver unit (7) being provided, which excites the oscillating unit to oscillate with a predetermined excitation frequency and to receive the oscillations of the oscillating unit (2), and a control/evaluation unit (8) further being provided which signals when the predetermined fill level is reached or determines the density and/or the viscosity of the medium. In order to be able to use the vibration sensor in the high temperature range, a disk-shaped element (9) made from a magnetostrictive material is provided and is force-locked on the inner surface (4) of the membrane (3). The transmitter/receiver unit (7) is an electromagnetic drive.
