The interplay of prospective experimental information from both the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Linear Collider (LC) in the investigation of the MSSM Higgs sector is analyzed in the SPS~1a and SPS 1b benchmark scenarios. Combining LHC information on the heavy Higgs states of the MSSM with precise measurements of the mass and branching ratios of the lightest CP-even Higgs boson at the LC provides a sensitive consistency test of the MSSM. This allows to set bounds on the trilinear coupling At. In a scenario where LHC and LC only detect one light Higgs boson, the prospects for an indirect determination of MA are investigated. In particular, the impact of the experimental errors of the other SUSY parameters is analyzed in detail. We find that a precision of about 20% (30%) can be achieved for MA = 600 (800) GeV.
