Embodiments relate to a device for performing a bending test having a base plate, counter bearings connected via the base plate, bearing blocks which in each case comprise a support for applying a bending sample, and a bending punch or a bending rail for exerting a force on a bending sample. The distance of the supports can be set precisely and in a force resistant manner by abutting the counter bearings and the bearing blocks against each other via contact surfaces inclined to the base plate. Further provided is a method for performing a bending test using a device according to the invention, in the case of which a bending sample is applied on the supports and in the case of which a force is exerted between the supports on the bending sample.
