In a method for vertical continuous casting of a steel band, a strand ( 11 ) of a parallelogram-like cross section is cast at first in a revolving chill-mold ( 2 ) and is thereafter transferred from said initial cross section with completely solidified longitudinal edges ( 10 ) and liquid core into a band ( 1 ) with plane-parallel cross section, this occurring in such a way that an already solidified shell ( 9 ) of the strand ( 11 ) which becomes increasingly thicker by cooling is increasingly compressed in the casting direction in a forming device ( 4 ) without upsetting deformation of the completely solidified longitudinal edges ( 10 ). In order to provide advantageous conditions it is proposed that after the compression into a band ( 1 ) the strand ( 11 ) with a still liquid core ( 16 ) is guided during the complete solidification of the core merely in a forming gap with a constant width corresponding to the thickness of the completely solidified longitudinal edges ( 10 ) and is calibrated in this process.
