1. A method for influencing and/or operating a steering system comprising:
determining a setpoint for an operating element actuator of the steering system independently of a setpoint for a steering gear actuator;
actuating the operating element actuator depending on the determined setpoint for the operating element actuator;
determining the setpoint for the steering gear actuator of the steering system independently of the determined setpoint for the operating element actuator; and
actuating the steering gear actuator depending on the determined setpoint for the steering gear actuator,
wherein the setpoint for the operating element actuator is determined depending on a target value for a behavior of an operating element and depending on a first request value,
wherein the setpoint for the steering gear actuator is determined depending on a target value for a behavior of the steering gear actuator and depending on a second request value,
wherein the first request value is determined depending on a target value of a function for influencing the operating element actuator, and
wherein the second request value is determined depending on a target value of a function for influencing a behavior of the steering gear actuator of the vehicle.
