Abstract: A hinge for eyeglasses has a first and a second frame part, the parts being joined in an articulated manner by a spindle element, the end of the first frame part having a bend which encloses at least in part the spindle element in a pivoting manner, wherein the bend of the first frame part forms two vertically spaced closed loops of a first diameter. The second frame part has a through hole of a second diameter and is positioned in the space between the two loops, such that the first frame part and the second frame part are swivelably connected by the spindle element, which reaches through both the loops and the through hole.
