The invention relates to a method for monitoring a continuous revolving conveyor belt (4) having a connecting region (8). The connecting region (8) is monitored with the aid of two transponders (12) and (14). One of the transponders is arranged forward of the connecting region (8) and the other transponder is connected rearward of the connecting region (8). Both transponders (12) and (14) transmit respective signals to an external transmitter/receiver unit 16 wherein a conclusion is drawn as to the spacing of the two transponders (12) and (14) on the basis of the time-dependent spacing of the two signals. If the spacing s of the transponders (12) and (14) exceeds a pregiven amount, then a conclusion is drawn by the external transmitter/receiver unit (16) as to a critical change in length of the connecting region (8) and corresponding measures are initiated.
