The invention relates to a Magnus rotor comprising a cylindrical body of revolution for converting wind power into a feed force using the Magnus effect. The Magnus rotor comprises: a rotational shaft about which the body of revolution rotates; a support member on which the body of revolution is mounted; and a body of revolution which has means for the reinforcement thereof. The body of revolution is primed in at least two planes arranged at a mutual spacing in the axial direction perpendicular to the rotational shaft of the body of revolution in order to accommodate balancing weights. The invention further relates to a method for balancing a body of revolution according to the invention, said body being rotated by means of a drive motor inside the Magnus rotor, imbalances of a body of revolution of the Magnus rotor in at least two axially offset planes perpendicular to the rotational shaft of the body of revolution being detected, and corresponding balancing weights being attached to reinforcing means in the respective planes.
