Abstract

The invention relates to a device (10) for manufacturing a fiber composite component (3, 4, 5), which is connected to an attachment element (22), for a rotor blade (2) of a wind turbine (1), wherein the fiber composite component (3, 4, 5) is or will be manufactured from at least one fiber material (15, 21) and at least one matrix material, wherein the attachment element (22) is provided with a first region (221) arranged outside of the fiber composite component (3, 4, 5) and a second region (222) integrated into the fiber composite component (3, 4, 5), comprising a manufacturing mold (11) for the fiber composite component (3, 4, 5) with a recess (12), wherein the recess (12) has a first region (121) for receiving the first region (221) of the attachment element (22), and a retention device (13), by means of which fluid matrix material is or will be retained from the first region (121) of the recess (12).
