Each of the retaining elements is configured to be movable along the pillar-like element and detachable therefrom. A positioning region for arranging a hollow-cylindrical high-voltage winding is formed between the retaining elements, and spacing elements are configured to move axially along the pillar-like element. The spacing elements are configured to radially fix the hollow-cylindrical high-voltage winding when placed between the retaining elements by applying a tensile force to the retaining elements. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A winding fixing device for a hollow-cylindrical high-voltage winding, the winding fixing device comprising: a pillar-like element having two axial ends, each of the two axial ends configured to be connected to a respective retaining element which is arranged transversely with respect thereto, wherein each of the retaining elements is configured to be movable along the pillar-like element and detachable therefrom;
