A method for making a hot-rolled steel strip from molten steel in a continuous production process, this strip is, and continues through to the process this method, steel of the continuous casting mold (2) of a continuous casting plant (1) a continuous casting step of the strand (5); The roll forming of the cast steel strand of the first group of roll stands (6) to form the pre-rolled hot strip (7); The roll stand of the temperature setting device 14 comprising the first group and to the rolling temperature between the second group of roll stands set the pre-rolled hot strip; And hot-it includes the step of splitting the rolled steel strip by hot-rolled steel strip or as a winding and a coil panel. Lecture to keep each other increases the flexibility in different production-grade and low investment costs and operating costs, enter the temperature setting device before pre-rolling the hot strip on is immediately de-scale, pre-rolled hot strip in a temperature setting device is held in a protective gas atmosphere, the pre-rolled hot strip is rolled in the second group after the operation through the temperature setting device immediately roll stand - is formed. In addition, an integrated casting and rolling equipment is provided for performing the method.
