A holder for at least two toilet paper rolls, which are positioned one above the other, and which consist of a paper web wound around a tube or a shaft, the holder comprising:

• a first wall and a second wall arranged at a distance from each other in parallel,
• wherein the first wall forms a rear wall, or is connected to such a rear wall in such a way that a rotational axis of the toilet paper roll extends perpendicularly to the rear wall,
• wherein each of the walls contains a guide for accepting the respective end of a shaft, or a respective shaft journal that can be accommodated in the opening of the tube,
• wherein the guide has a substantially vertically extending feeding section, for feeding a toilet paper roll, that transitions into an unwinding section, which extends at an angle to the vertical in the direction of at least one tear-off element,
• wherein the lower toilet paper roll that is situated in the unrolling section on account of its own weight bears against a limit stop, and
• wherein the paper web can be unwound from the toilet paper roll through a dispensing opening, and can be torn off at the at least one tear-off element,
• wherein the toilet paper roll, independently of its unrolling direction, can be accepted and unwound in the guides of the first and the second wall,
• wherein the limit stop is formed by a section of a side wall, or a bolt, and extends between the first and the second wall, and extends in parallel to the rotational axis of the toilet paper roll, and has, relative to the circumferential surface of the toilet paper roll which bears against the limit stop, a convex surface, which facilitates unwinding the toilet paper roll in both directions,
• wherein the holder comprises a second tear-off element, which substantially is arranged in parallel to the first tear-off element on the opposite side of the dispensing opening, and
• wherein the first and the second tear-off elements form lateral limits of the dispensing opening (58).
