1. A rotor bearing housing for a wind turbine having a tower, the rotor bearing housing comprising:
a bearing body configured to receive a rotor shaft of the wind turbine, wherein the rotor shaft rotates about a rotational axis;
said bearing body having a first bearing body end and a second bearing body end disposed opposite to said first bearing body end along an axial direction;
said bearing body having a first receptacle for a first rotor bearing at said first bearing body end and having a second receptacle for a second rotor bearing at said second bearing body end;
said bearing body extending longitudinally along the axial direction;
a support body having a first support body end;
said support body being arranged under said bearing body and being configured to be coupled to a base element at said first support body end in order to transmit a force flow between said bearing body and the base element, wherein the base element is arrangeable under the support body for rotatable fastening to a first tower end of the tower of the wind turbine;
said bearing body and said support body conjointly forming a single-piece body;
said bearing body and said support body being configured such that, if a geometrical central point of said first receptacle is projected onto a cross-sectional plane of the first tower end of the tower, the geometrical central point is arranged outside a diameter of the tower at the first tower end;
said bearing body extending in a manner of a hollow cylinder or a hollow frustum along the axial direction; and,
wherein the geometrical central point of said first receptacle is a first geometrical central point; said second receptacle has a second geometrical central point; the first geometrical central point of said first receptacle and the second geometrical central point of the second receptacle define a spacing to one another along a transverse direction; and, the spacing is at least as great as the diameter of the tower at the first tower end.
