1. A method for controlling door movements of a door of a motor vehicle, the motor vehicle having a control device and a sensor arrangement associated with the door and the door having a controllable motion influencing device, the method comprising:
controlling and influencing a movement of a door wing of the door by way of the motion influencing device to alternate between a closed position and an open position;
monitoring at least one surround field of the door with a surround sensor of the sensor arrangement;
capturing and evaluating with the control device signals from the sensor arrangement and detecting a motion of an object relative to the door in surroundings of the door;
actively moving the door wing of the door to prevent a collision with the object or to reduce an effect of the collision of the door with the object; and
accelerating a closing motion of the door wing if a possible collision with an object is detected.
