The aim of the invention is to develop a hot rolling unit, comprising at least one continuous casting unit ( ) with a post-arranged furnace ( ), followed by a roughing stand ( ) and, over a strip edge guide, a soaking furnace ( ) and finishing train, such that downtime is reduced to a minimum level and even during said downtime, as well as in planned cases of withdrawal of pre-strip material, the pre-strip ( ), behind the roughing stand in the soaking furnace, can be separated off from the normal rolling cycle. Said aim is achieved, whereby the strip edge guide has a length of at least 4 m, the soaking furnace has, or is preceded by, at least one device for recognition of the strip edge position, the soaking furnace has a pivoting cover segment ( ), a discharge device ( ) may be displaced at least alongside the soaking furnace, running in the longitudinal direction thereof and the devices for determining the strip edge position have analytical units ( ) and an emergency breaker device and/or a device for releasing emergency cutters.
