A method for controlling a headlamp of a first motor vehicle traveling on a roadway, the method including: operation of the headlamp with a high beam light distribution, wherein at least a part of the high beam light distribution covers the roadway; sensing of an environment in front of the first motor vehicle with a camera; detection of a curve in the roadway located in front of the first motor vehicle; determination of whether a second vehicle traveling on the curve can be sensed by the camera; and reduction of a width of the high beam light distribution when it has been determined that the second motor vehicle cannot be sensed.
