A superconducting magnetic field coil (1; 21; 31; 41; 51; 61) comprising at least one coil section (42; 43) which is wound in layers, is characterized in that, in at least one layer (11, 12, 13, 14, 101, 102, 103, 104) of the coil section (42; 43) N (with N≧2), superconducting wire sections (A, B, C, D, E) are wound in parallel, such that the windings of the N wire sections (A, B, C, D, E) are adjacent to each other and the N wire sections (A, B, C, D, E) are connected in series. The inventive magnetic field coil can be produced at highly reduced costs, in particular, when the magnetic field coil has a comparatively large layer length.
