The invention relates to an electrode assembly (110), which comprises a layer structure. Said layer structure has at least one first electrode (112), at least one second electrode (130), and at least one separator (116) inserted between the first electrode (112) and the second electrode (130). The first electrode (112) has at least one first conductive track (114), wherein the first conductive track (114) is folded in a first zig-zag fold, wherein a plurality of first layers (120, 122) lying one over the other is formed by the first zig-zag fold and wherein first folded edges (134, 136) of the first zig-zag fold lying opposite each other define a first folding direction (138) of the first zig-zag fold. Furthermore, the second electrode (130) has at least one second conductive track (132), wherein the second conductive track (132) is folded in a second zig-zag fold, wherein a plurality of second layers (128, 140) lying one over the other is formed by the second zig-zag fold and wherein second folded edges (142) of the second zig-zag fold lying opposite each other define a second folding direction (144) of the second zig-zag fold. According to the invention, the first layers (120, 122) and the second layers (142) are arranged parallel to each other, wherein the first folding direction (138) and the second folding direction (144) assume an angle of at least 60 degrees and at most 120 degrees to each other, and wherein the separator (116) is present in the form of at least one insulating track (118), wherein each two adjacent first layers (120, 122) lie one over the other in such a way that said first layers form a double layer (124, 126), and a second layer (128, 140) is inserted between two double layers (124, 126). The invention further relates to a method for producing such an electrode assembly (110), and to an electrochemical cell, comprising at least one such electrode assembly (110), at least one electrolyte, at least one first conductor for the first electrode (112), and at least one second conductor for the second electrode (130).
