A method for bending panes, includes providing a pane heated to bending temperature, securing the pane against a contact surface of a first bending mould, pressing the pane between the first bending mould and a press frame, transporting the pane on the press frame to a second bending mould, pressing the pane between the second bending mould and the press frame, securing the pane against the contact surface of the second bending mould, wherein surface pre-bending occurs in the inner region of the pane, transporting the pane on a tempering frame to a cooling device for the thermal tempering of the pane, wherein during transport, surface final bending occurs in the inner region of the pane by gravity.
