Recursively tar'ing subfolders of a main folder

I have a folder, called webseiten with different subfolders.

I want those subfolders to be tar'd. Name of those tars should be the name of the subfolder that gets tar'd.

How can I do that?

My guess is:

find webseiten/ -type d -exec tar -cfvz - but whats now? How to pass the desired output name to exec?

As it seems to be a little odd what I want to achieve:

I don't want one big Tar with all subfolders in it. I want a tar for each subfolder in my main folder.

So basically:

Content of webseiten:

Then the output should be folder-1.tar.gz, folder-2.tar.gz, folder-3.tar.gz and folder-4.tar.gz.

cd webseiten
for dir in */
do
    tar -czf "$(basename "$dir").tar.gz" "$dir"
done

That is literally it. For more information, man tar (and man find).
