A method for determining a length, especially for determining an overlap length of a wound strip of material, is provided. In order to be able to automatically determine the overlap length it is suggested that the forward end of a strip of material applied to a winding drum is detected by a detector and, simultaneously, the corresponding angular position of the winding drum is measured. After the completion of the winding of the strip of material, its rearward end is detected by the detector and, simultaneously, the corresponding angular position of the winding drum is measured. Subsequently, a difference between the angular positions of the winding drum is used to determine the length of the strip of material.
