1. A method for producing a membrane electrode assembly for a fuel cell, comprising the steps of:
providing a first component of the membrane electrode assembly as part of a continuous material web which passes through a plurality of processing stations, wherein the first component is a frame material, wherein the frame material forms a frame of the membrane electrode assembly, and wherein the frame encloses an active region of the membrane electrode assembly;
connecting a second component of the membrane electrode assembly to the frame material by a first adhesive applied to the frame material, wherein the second component is a membrane with a catalyst material; and
applying the first adhesive to the membrane and connecting a gas diffusion element to the membrane by the first adhesive.
