A membrane is disclosed of polyamide, a copolyamide or a mixture of polyamides, suitable for ultrafiltration and composed of an ultrafiltration skin and a backing layer. The pore size in the backing layer increases with distance from the ultrafiltration skin. The membrane is prepared by dissolving a polyamide in at least 75% formic acid, applying a casting solution, containing about 12-22% by weight polyamide and about 1-7% by weight polyethylene glycol in formic acid which has been brought to a temperature of below about 18 DEG C., as a thin layer onto a carrier foil resistant to the components of the solution, introducing the casting solution on the carrier foil into a precipitation and washing bath, withdrawing the casting solution as a coagulated and washed membrane from the carrier foil, stretching in at least one direction and subsequently drying this coagulated and washed membrane.
