Claim:
1. An openwork load-bearing structure for a wind turbine, wherein the openwork load-bearing structure comprises: primary structures via which loads which occur in the load-bearing structure as a result of the wind turbine are dissipated; and secondary structures, which only perform functional tasks and do not dissipate loads which occur in the load-bearing structure as a result of the wind turbine; wherein the secondary structures are arranged on the primary structures and are connected integrally thereto, wherein the integral connection between the primary structures and the secondary structures is in the form of a connecting layer arranged therebetween, and wherein said openwork load-bearing structure is a foundation structure, wherein one or more of the primary structures is a corner post or a leg, and wherein one or more of the secondary structures is a pile stopper for depth-limiting the corner post or leg when the corner post or leg is inserted into a driven foundation pile.
