The invention relates to a method and to an apparatus for producing a tubular lining (30) for lining sewers and pipelines, which has an inner tubular film (32) that is closed circumferentially and at least one fiber strip (34) wound onto the inner tubular film (32) and impregnated with a curable reactive resin, wherein the inner tubular film (32) is drawn in a winding apparatus (40) onto a holding tube (8) which is mounted on one side and arranged substantially horizontally, at the free end (10) of which there is arranged a winding tongue (12) having a transport device (16), which, during the circumferential winding of the fiber strips (34), transports the inner tubular film (32) in a feed direction (36) to a stationary supporting surface (18) which is arranged at the free end (10) of the winding tongue (12) and over which the tubular lining (30) is conveyed further, wherein the inner tubular film (32) is drawn over the free end (13) of the winding tongue (12) onto the holding tube (8) counter to the feed direction (36).
