By means of the inventive embodiment of the method, it is advantageously possible to minimize the influence of windings of the electrical conductor already present on the receiving element on an insertion area between the receiving element and the further receiving element, into which insertion area, in particular, a conducting plate of the winding device can be inserted for winding the further receiving element by means of the winding device.A high fill factor for the coil of the electric motor device can advantageously be achieved.
