a housing formed of a material; and
a control circuit, an integrated plug connector and an integrated position sensor in the housing, the position sensor including a stator and a rotor;
wherein the stator of the position sensor is enclosed in a stationary manner by the material of the housing;
wherein the stator includes a sensor printed-circuit board, whose edge regions are enclosed by crosspieces of the housing in a stationary manner.
2. The control device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the stator includes two coils which cooperate with a coil on the rotor according to an inductive method.
3. The control device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the crosspieces are clip crosspieces.
4. The control device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the sensor printed-circuit board of the position sensor is molded into the housing.
5. The control device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the housing includes a base plate, an intermediate housing part and a cover.
6. The control device as recited in claim 5 , wherein the sensor printed-circuit board is molded into the intermediate housing part.
7. The control device as recited in claim 5 , wherein the intermediate housing part and the cover are made of plastic, and the base plate is made of aluminum.
8. The control device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the crosspieces that enclose the edge regions of the sensor printed-circuit board are interrupted in a vicinity of electrical adhesive connections.
9. A method for manufacturing a control device, comprising:
