A device for variably adjusting the control times of gas-exchange valves of an internal combustion engine. The device has a drive input element and a drive output element, The drive input element is placed in driving connection with a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine, the drive output element is arranged so as to be pivotable with respect to the drive input element, and the device is fastened to a camshaft which has a hollow shaft and an inner shaft which is arranged concentrically with respect to the hollow shaft. An improved mounting arrangement of the concentrically arranged shafts with respect to one another is proposed.
