The invention relates to a device for blow molding containers. Initially, pre-forms, which are made of a thermoplastic material, are tempered and, subsequently, transformed into containers inside a blow form using the effects of a pressurized medium. Said blow form which is made up of at least two blow molding segments is held in place by mold supports of a blowing station. A bottom part is used in addition to the blow molding segments. Both the mold supports (19, 20) and the bottom part (7) are arranged in such a way that they can be mechanically positioned. The mold supports and the bottom part are permanently coupled to each other via a common mechanical drive unit (43).
