A device for de-palletizing stacks of blanks stacked on pallets with flat spacing layers disposed in-between, includes a displaceable gripping head and an insertion tool arranged approximately horizontally oriented on the gripping head. The insertion tool is positioned in front of at least one stack of blanks through displacement of the gripping head for being inserted with an approximately horizontal movement between the stack of blanks and the spacing layer for picking up the stack of blanks and for removing the picked up stack of blanks from the spacing layer through a displacement of the gripping head. At least one lifting mechanism is coupled to the gripping head for lifting up one side of the stack of blanks.
