An apparatus and method for forming cross folds in a web-fed printing press is disclosed. A folding unit has a longitudinal folding device and a cross folding device, which is arranged downstream from the longitudinal folding device, as seen in the transport direction of the printing substrate. The longitudinal folding device has one single former, where printing substrate webs entering the former as a strand are cut by a longitudinal cutting device assigned to the former or by at least one longitudinal cutting device assigned respectively to at least one printing substrate web of the strand by longitudinal cutting into partial webs, which exit the former as a strand, wherein the strand exiting the former can be divided downstream from the former and upstream from the cross folding device into at least three partial strands, and where a stitcher is assigned to at least one of the partial strands.
