An electromechanical brake booster having a plunger rod for connecting a brake pedal lever to a brake master cylinder, a gear motor, which is coupled with the plunger rod, and a control device for driving the gear motor. A pedal force variable representing the pedal force and a plunger rod motion variable representing the motion of the plunger rod are supplied to the control device as input variables. The control device is configured to determine a setpoint return velocity for the plunger rod with the aid of the plunger rod motion variable and an actual return velocity for the plunger rod and the pedal force variable from the setpoint return velocity and to generate an activation signal for the gear motor. This makes it possible to improve the brake release behavior and to reduce high Bernoulli forces at the end stop for the starting position of the brake pedal lever.
