Assuming an integrated luminosity of 500 fb-1 and a center-of-mass energy of 350 GeV, we examine the prospects for measuring branching fractions of a Standard Model-like Higgs boson with a mass of 160 GeV at the future linear \ee collider TESLA when the Higgs is produced via the Higgsstrahlung mechanism, \ee \pfr HZ. We study in detail the precisions achievable for the branching fractions of the Higgs into WW^*, ZZ^* and \bb. However, the measurement of BF(H \pfr \gaga) remains a great challence. Combined with the expected error for the inclusive Higgsstrahlung production rate the uncertainty for the total width of the Higgs is estimated.
