The invention relates to the field of steel processing and steel production, in particular the production of steel profiles. The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a steel profile, the method comprising the steps of: providing a workpiece (2, 44, 52), in particular a steel blank, preferably a steel strip blank, forming a weakened point (10) in the region of a planned bend in the workpiece (2, 44, 52) and bending the workpiece (2, 44, 52) to produce a bend in the workpiece (2, 44, 52). After bending, the weakened point (10) is reinforced by welding.
