1. A method for determining the fill level of a medium in a container, comprising the steps of: supplying a plurality of emitting devices with electromagnetic signals andevaluating an emitting behavior of at least a portion of the emitting devices based on the fill level of the medium,wherein the emitting devices are attached in relation to the container so that different fill levels of the medium are assigned to each of at least two emitting devices, and wherein, when the medium reaches the respective fill level, it causes a change in the emitting behavior of the emitting device assigned that fill levelwherein the emitting devices are attached in relation to the container so that essentially a same fill level or same fill level range of the medium is assigned to at least two of the emitting devices, wherein, when the medium reaches the fill level or fill level range, it causes a change in the emitting behavior of the at least two emitting devices assigned that fill level or fill level range. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein at least one measure for impedance matching is determined for at least two emitting devices in the evaluation of the emitting behavior. 3. The method according to claim 2, wherein a temporal behavior of the at least one measure for impedance matching is determined and evaluated. 4. The method according to claim 2, wherein the determined measure is evaluated in dependence on the point in time at which each of the emitting devices signals contact with the medium. 5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the emitting behavior of the at least two emitting devices is evaluated in view of at least one of a common fill level and common fill level range. 6. The method according to claim 1, wherein a calibration is carried out in that a temporal sequence of a change of the emitting behavior is determined for individual emitting devices. 7. The method according to claim 1, wherein, for the evaluation of the emitting behavior of at least a part of the emitting devices, the emitting behavior is taught in a learning mode, wherein, in the learning mode, each emitting behavior is separately evaluated at least for a portion of the emitting devices and wherein an assessment of the emitting behavior of the other emitting devices is made based on the emitting behavior of at least one selected emitting device. 8. The method according to claim 1, wherein information about a state of the at least two emitting devices relative to a degree of contamination or aging is determined from a temporal change in the resonance frequency of at least one of the emitting devices and that the information is used in determining the fill level of the medium. 9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the emitting behavior of at least one of the emitting devices is evaluated in view of at least one characteristic of the medium. 10. The method according to claim 9, wherein information is determined about a permittivity of the medium based on a resonance frequency of at least one of the emitting devices. 11. The method according to claim 9, wherein information about the presence of a separating layer in the medium is obtained in the case of different resonance frequencies of different ones of emitting devices. 12. The method according to claim 11, wherein each of the at least two emitting devices is assigned a different fill level, a first time difference is determined between the reaching of each fill level, a filling speed is determined using the first time difference and a known fill level difference between the two fill levels assigned to the at least two emitting devices, and a second time difference is determined between the reaching of the fill level assigned to one emitting device and a change of the resonance frequency of the emitting device for one of the at least two emitting devices. 13. A method for determining the fill level of a medium in a container, comprising the steps of: supplying a plurality of emitting devices with electromagnetic signals andevaluating an emitting behavior of at least a portion of the emitting devices based on the fill level of the medium,wherein the emitting devices are attached in relation to the container so that essentially a same fill level or same fill level range of the medium is assigned to at least two of the emitting devices, wherein, when the medium reaches the fill level or fill level range, it causes a change in the emitting behavior of the at least two emitting devices assigned that fill level or fill level range. 14. The method according to claim 13, wherein at least one measure for impedance matching is determined for at least two emitting devices in the evaluation of the emitting behavior. 15. The method according to claim 14, wherein a temporal behavior of the at least one measure for impedance matching is determined and evaluated. 16. The method according to claim 14, wherein the at least one measure for impedance matching is determined for at least two emitting devices and wherein the determined measure is evaluated in dependence on the point in time at which each of the emitting devices signals contact with the medium. 17. The method according to claim 13, wherein the emitting behavior of the at least two emitting devices is evaluated in view of at least one of a common fill level and common fill level range. 18. The method according to claim 13, wherein a calibration is carried out in that a temporal sequence of a change of the emitting behavior is determined for individual emitting devices. 19. The method according to claim 13, wherein, for the evaluation of the emitting behavior of at least a part of the emitting devices, the emitting behavior is taught in a learning mode, wherein, in the learning mode, each emitting behavior is separately evaluated at least for a portion of the emitting devices and wherein an assessment of the emitting behavior of the other emitting devices is made based on the emitting behavior of at least one selected emitting device. 20. The method according to claim 13, wherein information about a state of the at least two emitting devices relative to a degree of contamination or aging is determined from a temporal change in the resonance frequency of at least one of the emitting devices and that the information is used in determining the fill level of the medium. 21. The method according to claim 13, wherein the emitting behavior of at least one of the emitting devices is evaluated in view of at least one characteristic of the medium. 22.

The method according to claim 21, wherein information about the presence of a separating layer in the medium is obtained in the case of different resonance frequencies of different ones of emitting devices. 24. The method according to claim 23, wherein each of the at least two emitting devices is assigned a different fill level, a first time difference is determined between the reaching of each fill level, a filling speed is determined using the first time difference and a known fill level difference between the two fill levels assigned to the at least two emitting devices, and a second time difference is determined between the reaching of the fill level assigned to one emitting device and a change of the resonance frequency of the emitting device for one of the at least two emitting devices.
