Below the Kondo temperature the heavy Fermion compound YbRh
2Si
2 shows a well defined electron spin resonance (ESR) with local
Yb3+ properties. We report a detailed analysis of the ESR intensity which gives information on the number of ESR active centers relative to the ESR of well localized
Yb3+ in YPd
3:Yb. The ESR lineshape is investigated regarding contributions from itinerant centers. From the ESR of monoisotopic
174YbRh
2Si
2 we could exclude unresolved hyperfine contributions to the lineshape.
