ELECTROMECHANICAL BRAKE SYSTEM FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE, METHOD

An electromechanical brake system for a motor vehicle. The electromechanical brake system includes four wheel brake devices, four primary electric motors, four secondary electric motors, two control devices, and a backup control device. The control devices and/or the backup control device are designed to acquire and/or evaluate sensor data from sensors assigned to the wheel brake devices and/or to the motor vehicle. Each of the wheel brake devices is respectively assigned one of the primary electric motors and one of the secondary electric motors in each case for operating the respective wheel brake devices, and in that, for actuating the electric motors. Each of the control devices is respectively assigned to two of the primary electric motors of two of the wheel brake devices and the backup control device is assigned to the four secondary electric motors of the wheel brake devices.
