Extensive measurements of the τ lepton polarization and its forward-backward asymmetry at the Z0 resonance have been performed at LEP. Today, the LHC provides the opportunity for testing the Standard Model of electroweak interactions with τ leptons through a measurement of their forward-backward asymmetry and their polarization. Additional challenges at the LHC are the huge QCD background and the unknown τ lepton energy. The study on the τ lepton polarization at CMS using the Z0→τµτ3π final state are presented.
