Process and apparatus for connecting material webs, namely one end of a new web (34) to one end of a runoff web (58). The new web (34), on the one hand, and run-off web (29), on the other hand, are each gripped individually, and stopped, by clamping parts (49, 50; 51, 52). The run-off web (29) and new web (34) are then severed. The fixed web ends--run-off end (58) and new, initial portion (59)--are positioned in a common plane by the clamping parts (49, 50; 51, 52) and connected to one another by a tape (60).
