How do crosswinds affect runway selection at Frankfurt Main Airport?

Aircraft land and depart into the wind. Headwind is the part of the wind along the runway heading. Crosswind is the part blowing across the pavement. A negative headwind is a tailwind. At Frankfurt Main Airport (FRA/EDDF) the live call is landing 07C+07R+07L, departure 07C+07R with METAR wind VRB @ 1 kt. 07C shows 0.0 kt headwind, 0.0 kt tailwind, and calm crosswind (0.0 kt). Controllers switch runways when the opposite threshold offers more headwind, or when the crosswind on the runway in use climbs. The component table lists every EDDF threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
