The invention relates to a winding device (1) for a cable (2), particularly for a flat cable(2). Said device comprises a bearing flange (3) provided with a hub (4), a winding bobbin (5) which can rotate with respect to the hub (4), said bobbin comprising, on the outer periphery thereof, a winding groove (9) for a free discharge end (2d) of the cable (2), defining a winding chamber (17) which is radially arranged inside the winding groove (9) for compensation windings (2b) of the cable (2). Said device also comprises an inner coil (10), which is arranged in a stationary manner on the bearing flange (3), and another winding chamber (16) for a spring (18) which is used as a drive element during the winding of the cable. The invention is characterised in that the winding chamber (16) for the spring (18) is axially offset in relation to the winding chamber for the compensation windings of the cable (2). An inner bobbin (10) is arranged in a fixed manner on the bearing flange (3), and at least part of the rotatable inner hub (6) of the winding coil (5) or all of the rotatable inner hub (6) of the winding coil (5) is arranged directly on the stationary hub (4) of the bearing flange (3). At least part of the stationary inner hub (11) of the inner coil (10) or all of the inner hub (11) of the inner coil (10) is arranged directly on the inner hub (6) of the winding coil (5) such that the rotatable inner hub (6) of the inner coil (10) can be guided.
