1. A fabric belt for producing a corrugated cardboard web in a corrugated cardboard machine, wherein the belt is joined together at the two ends thereof to produce an endless belt, and comprises an outer paper side which faces the corrugated cardboard web and an inner load side which is assigned to the drive, wherein first and second connecting pieces are provided for connecting the two belt ends, said first connecting piece comprising a first plurality of clips which lie next to one another at a distance at one end transversely to the belt and are fixed at an opposite end with a connecting section to a first belt end of the two belt ends, said second connecting piece comprising a second plurality of clips which lie next to one another at a distance at one end transversely to the belt and are fixed at an opposite end with a connecting section to a second belt end of the two belt ends, wherein in the longitudinal direction of the belt the clips of the first connecting piece cooperate with the clips of the second connecting piece in a force-transmitting manner, wherein the connecting section of each connecting piece is held in a respective receiving gap of the belt and, starting from the first or second belt end, the respective receiving gap extends between the paper side and the load side, wherein the clips are arranged as members of a zip fastener and engage into each other in a force-transmitting manner for connecting the two belt ends, wherein the receiving gap is formed by splitting of the belt end, wherein the receiving gap lies at a greater distance from the one paper side than from the load side, wherein the zip fastener is connected only to the first and second connecting pieces and not to the outer paper side and not to the inner load side, wherein the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece each comprises a respective base body comprising a respective fabric strip, wherein the respective fabric strip comprises a fastening strip for the clips and comprises a remaining fabric strip, wherein the fastening strip is arranged adjacent to a longitudinal edge, wherein the remaining fabric strip forms the connecting section, and wherein the fabric strip is made of the same material as the fabric of the belt.
