An apparatus for the unwinding of multiple webs which comprises an unwinding stand with bearing brackets for a plurality of web rolls and, preceding said stand, a storage medium for a plurality of web rolls, wherein the storage medium is preceded by an aligning apparatus which aligns each web roll with respect to its axial and angular positions and transfers it to a conveyor of the storage medium which carries it to the unwinding stand. The conveyor is provided with a plurality of holding cribs that are spaced apart the same distance as the bearing brackets and hold the web rolls transferred to them in their aligned position.
