A reel winding arrangement includes a contact roller, first and second winding position groups located on a first and second sides of the contact roller, and a core feeding device which includes a longitudinal transport device and a core moving device. The core moving device also includes at least one carrier arrangement positioned to extend over an axial length of said contact roller and at least one pivotable holding arm. A method of winding reel cores includes forming first and second winding positions on first and second sides of a contact roller, loading a plurality of reel cores on a longitudinal transport device, and pivotably feeding the plurality of reel cores from the longitudinal transport device to one of said first winding position and said second winding positions.
