A wind turbine is provided. The wind turbine includes a direct drive generator with a stator arrangement, a rotor arrangement substantially arranged around the stator arrangement and a longitudinal center axis. The stator arrangement includes a stator support structure, which includes at least one substantially radial extending stator support element. The stator support element is attached to a substantially parallel to the center axis extending stationary shaft, is substantially rigid in the radial direction and is at least partially in a certain extent flexible in the directions of the center axis of the generator.
