The application relates to a method for monitoring the condition of at least one component of a wind turbine which is loaded during the operation of the wind turbine. In the method, a first temperature of a first loaded component of the wind turbine is sensed. The method further involves sensing of at least one further temperature of a further loaded component of the wind turbine. The first loaded component and the further loaded component have a thermal coupling to each other, and a damage of at least one of the loaded components is detected based on the sensed first temperature and the sensed further temperature and at least one admissibility criterion in an evaluation step.
