A method and a device for monitoring a bearing arrangement, having at least one bearing, in a mounting element of a roller journal bearing of a roller in a stand of a rolling mill train are designed to initiate upkeep or repair work on the bearing arrangement at the correct time. The method involves measuring a process quantity at the bearing or in an area adjoining the bearing, providing an evaluation device with the measured value of the process quantity, comparing the measured value with a stored preset value, and triggering a signal as soon as the measured value exceeds or falls below the stored preset value.
