The invention relates to a steam generator (1, 1', 1"), in which a continuou s heating surface (8, 10, 12) is located in a fuel gas channel (6) that can be traversed in an approximately horizontal fuel gas direction (x). Said continuous heating surface comprises a number of ste am generator pipes (22, 50, 60) that are connected in parallel (W) for the passage of a flow medium and is designed in such a way that a steam generator pipe (22, 50, 60), which is heated to a greater extent than another steam generator pipe (22, 50, 60) of the same continuous heating surface (8, 10, 12), has a higher throughput of the flow medium (W) than the other steam generator pipe (22, 50, 60). The aim of the invention is to produce a low-cost steam generator with a particularly high level of mechanical stability, even when subjected to different thermal stresses. To achieve this, the or each steam generator pipe (22, 50, 60) has a respective downpipe section (34 , 52, 62, 64), which is approximately vertical and through which the flow medium (W) can flow downwards and a respective riser pipe section (36, 54, 66, 68) connected downstream of the downpipe on the flow medium side, which is approximately vertical and through which the flow medi um (W) can flow upwards.
