The invention relates to a device for the continuous casting of metals, especially steel, for use in a solidified-bending method. Said device comprises, downstream of the continuous casting mold, a straight strand guide ( ) and a bending device ( ) that releases the cast strand path ( ) so that the cold strand ( ) can be introduced. The object of the invention is to utilize the height of the device that has so far not been used for supporting the strand or to reduce the height of the entire installation. To this end, the bending device ( ) comprises a folding segment ( ) that is pivoted on the fixed side ( ) and that is provided with a row of rollers ( ) that limit the bending path ( ) in the operational position. The bending device further comprises on the loose side ( ) a loose element ( ) that can be swiveled into the operational position ( ) or that can be swiveled out from this position. The bending rollers ( ) of said loose element form the counter-rollers ( ) to the row of rollers ( ) in the operational position ( ).
