Process for preparing high-concentration gaseous formaldehyde having a molar CH2O:H2O ratio of ≧0.6 from an aqueous formaldehyde solution by evaporation of at least part of the solution, in which the aqueous formaldehyde solution is heated to a vaporization temperature T and the gas phase formed is taken off, wherein the evaporation temperature T obeys the relationship: T[° C.]≧T′min[° C.] where T′min(c)=A+B×(c/100)+C×(c/100)2+D×(c/100)3 and A=+68.759, B=+124.77, C=−12.851, D=−10.095, where c is the instantaneous CH2O content of the aqueous formaldehyde solution during the evaporation in percent by weight and is from 20 to 99% by weight.
