1. A construction machine, comprising:
a machine frame;
a traveling mechanism with front and rear traveling devices with at least one pair of front traveling devices and/or a pair of rear traveling devices, at least one pair of the front or rear traveling devices being connected to the machine frame via lifting columns each having a respective hydraulically adjustable piston-cylinder unit;
a drive device for driving the hydraulically adjustable piston-cylinder unit of the lifting columns separately from one another;
a control device configured to control the lifting adjustment of the lifting columns by the hydraulically adjustable piston-cylinder units;
wherein at least one piston-cylinder unit of a pair of the front or rear or right or left traveling devices is assigned a measuring device which is configured to measure and monitor a volume change of a volume of a reference fluid which correlates with the current lifting position of the piston-cylinder unit, and that the control device controls the actuating position of the piston- cylinder unit of the pair of traveling devices as a function of the volume change of the reference fluid determined by the measuring device; and
wherein the measuring device is arranged on a measuring piston-cylinder unit separate from the piston-cylinder unit that sets the position of the lifting column or drives its change.
