In a method for the production of hydrocarbon resins based upon pyrolysates through cationic polymerization of the pyrolyzate in the presence of Friedel-Crafts catalysts and solvents at temperatures between -40 DEG and +60 DEG C., tetralin and/or tetralin derivatives are pyrolysed at 660 DEG -710 DEG C., preferably at 675 DEG -690 DEG C., in the presence of 1-10 mol, preferably 3-7 mol, vaporous water per mole tetralin or tetralin derivative with a dwell time of 1-2 seconds; the pyrolyzate is distilled to free it of high boiling (tarry) portions; and the unsaturated compounds contained in the distillate are polymerized in known manner. Styrene formed during the pyrolysis is preferably removed through distillation before the polymerization. The hydrocarbon mixture regenerated with the separation of the resins formed through polymerization are hydrogenated to tetralin and/or tetralin derivatives and again pyrolyzed.
