The invention relates to a pneumatic brake booster (1), in particular for motor vehicle brake systems, comprising a booster housing (2), which is divided into at least one vacuum chamber (4) and at least one working chamber (5) by at least one wall (3), which can be exposed to a pneumatic pressure difference, is supported on a control housing (9) and can move in an actuating direction (13), a travel sensor assembly (6) for monitoring the position and movement of at least one movable wall (3), and a pressure sensor assembly (7) for monitoring a pressure level in at least one vacuum chamber (4), wherein the travel sensor assembly (6) and the pressure sensor assembly (7) provide electrical signals to an electronic control unit (8). In order to realize an in particular cost-optimized and assembly-optimized device, according to the invention the travel sensor assembly (6) and the pressure sensor assembly (7) are combined and arranged in a common module housing (10) attached to the brake booster (1).
