Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus (2) for holding at least one roll (10) which rotates or can rotate about a rotational axis (A) and at least one second roll (20) of a rolling machine which rotates or can rotate about a rotational axis (B), having a) two first holding devices (11, 12) for the first roll (10) and two second holding devices (21, 22) for the second roll (20), b) at least one or at least two first coupling devices (13, 14) for the first roll (10) and at least one, preferably at least two second coupling devices (23, 24) for the second roll (20), c) each coupling device (13, 14; 23, 24) having at least two corresponding coupling parts (13a, 13b; 14a, 14b; 23a, 23b; 24a, 24b), d) the in each case corresponding coupling parts (13a, 13b; 14a, 14b; 23a, 23b; 24a, 24b) being connected in a form-fitting and/or force-transmitting manner to one another in the coupled state of the coupling devices (13; 14; 23; 24), for the generation of a torque-transmitting connection of each holding device (11,
