The control method according to claim 1, further comprising the act of: detecting a temperature of an exhaust treatment system of the motor vehicle, whereinthe defined length of time that the tank ventilation valve is open is additionally a function of the detected temperature of the exhaust treatment system. 3. The control method according to claim 1, wherein the act of determining the hydrocarbon content is carried out via an HC sensor attached in an area of the tank ventilation device. 4. The control method according to claim 2, wherein the act of determining the hydrocarbon content is carried out via an HC sensor attached in an area of the tank ventilation device. 5. The control method according to claim 1, wherein the act of determining the hydrocarbon content comprises the act of determining the hydrocarbon content from at least one characteristic value of a model for the hydrocarbon content in tank gases. 6. The control method according to claim 2, wherein the act of determining the hydrocarbon content comprises the act of determining the hydrocarbon content from at least one characteristic value of a model for the hydrocarbon content in tank gases. 7. The control method according to claim 2, wherein the higher the temperature of the exhaust treatment system, the shorter the defined length of time for opening the tank ventilation valve. 8. The control method according to claim 3, wherein the higher the temperature of the exhaust treatment system, the shorter the defined length of time for opening the tank ventilation valve. 9. The control method according to claim 5, wherein the higher the temperature of the exhaust treatment system, the shorter the defined length of time for opening the tank ventilation valve. 10. The control method according to claim 1, wherein the higher the hydrocarbon content, the shorter the defined length of time the tank ventilation valve is opened. 11. The control method according to claim 7, wherein the higher the hydrocarbon content, the shorter the defined length of time the tank ventilation valve is opened. 12. The control method according to claim 2, wherein the defined length of time that the tank ventilation valve is open it between 0.5 and 10 seconds, andthe temperature of the exhaust treatment system during the defined length of time the tank ventilation valve is open is between 300° C. and 800° C. 13. The control method according to claim 1, further comprising the act of: when the tank ventilation valve is open and the internal combustion engine is in overrun mode, drawing the tank gas mixture containing the hydrocarbon content from the tank ventilation device via a negative pressure existing relative to the internal combustion. 14. The control method according to claim 1, further comprising the act of: when the tank ventilation valve is open, conducting the tank gas mixture containing the hydrocarbon content to the internal combustion engine via a tank gas pump provided in an area of the tank ventilation device. 15. A motor vehicle, comprising: an internal combustion engine having at least one combustion chamber, an intake area supplying combustion air to the at least one combustion chamber, and an exhaust area that draws off exhaust gases from the at least one combustion chamber;an exhaust treatment system connected to the exhaust area of the internal combustion engine;a tank ventilation device that opens into the intake area of the internal combustion engine, the tank ventilation device being openable and closable with respect to the intake area via a tank ventilation valve; anda control unit operatively configured to control the internal combustion engine, the exhaust treatment system and the tank ventilation device, whereinthe control unit controls opens the tank ventilation valve of the tank ventilation device for a defined length of time as a function of hydrocarbon content of a tank gas mixture when an operational parameter of the internal combustion engine indicates an overrun mode or a standstill caused by a start-stop system of the internal combustion engine. 16. The motor vehicle according to claim 15, further comprising: an HC sensor arranged in an area of the tank ventilation device, whereinthe HC sensor determines the hydrocarbon content of the tank gas mixture in the tank ventilation device. 17. The motor vehicle according to claim 16, wherein the control unit stores characteristic values of a model of the hydrocarbon content of the tank gas mixture and controls the defined length of time the tank ventilation valve is open as a function of the stored characteristic values. 18. The motor vehicle according to claim 15, further comprising: a temperature sensor that determines a temperature of the exhaust treatment system of the motor vehicle, whereinthe control unit controls the opening of the tank ventilation valve for the defined length of time additionally as a function of the determined temperature of the exhaust treatment system. 19. The motor vehicle according to claim 16, further comprising: a temperature sensor that determines a temperature of the exhaust treatment system of the motor vehicle, whereinthe control unit controls the opening of the tank ventilation valve for the defined length of time additionally as a function of the determined temperature of the exhaust treatment system. 20. The motor vehicle according to claim 17, further comprising: a temperature sensor that determines a temperature of the exhaust treatment system of the motor vehicle, whereinthe control unit controls the opening of the tank ventilation valve for the defined length of time additionally as a function of the determined temperature of the exhaust treatment system.
