A pressure sensor (1) comprises a measuring diaphragm (2), which can be deformed on the basis of the pressure, and a mating body (3) which are connected to one another in a pressure-tight manner and form a measuring chamber (5) in which a reference pressure is present, wherein a pressure can be applied to an outside of the measuring diaphragm (2), wherein the pressure sensor (1) has a capacitive transducer having at least one mating body electrode (8, 9) and at least one diaphragm electrode (7), wherein, above a pressure limit value for the pressure, at least one central surface section of the measuring diaphragm (2) rests against the mating body with a contact surface (A(p)), the size of which is dependent on the pressure, wherein the pressure sensor also has a resistive transducer for converting a pressure-dependent deformation of the measuring diaphragm, when pressed in a range of values above the pressure limit value, into an electrical signal using an electrical resistance which is dependent on the conta
