Abstract

A rotor bearing housing for a wind turbine has: a bearing body for receiving a rotor shaft of the wind turbine, a support body arranged under the bearing body and configured to be coupled at a first end to a base element in order to transmit a force flow between the bearing body and the base element. The base element is arrangeable under the support body for the purposes of rotatable fastening to a first end of a tower of the wind turbine, the bearing body and the support body together forming a single-piece body, and the bearing body and the support body being configured such that, if a geometrical central point of the first receptacle for a rotor bearing is projected onto a cross-sectional plane of the first end of the tower, the geometrical central point is arranged outside a diameter of the tower at the first end.
