Wind readings at EDDH

just to stop this endless discussion wether RWY 23 or RWY 33 was better : Working at EDDH TWR as one of the ATCO´s during that incident, here´s a short summary of R/T and coordination with Approach:
10 min prior DLH 040, TWR issued information to Approach about winds getting stronger ( from 250/30 changing to 270/34-45). RWY 33 as altenative landing RWY was offered to all approaching aircraft. DLH 040 choosed RWY 23. After freq change to TWR, TWR reported increase of Wind and velocity (280/40-50)and offered swing over for RWY 33. Crew of DLH 040 asked about percentage of go-arounds within the last 20 Minutes ( total 50%...). Crew stated:" we try one for RWY 23..." Last windcheck by TWR at 1NM final.The rest is known...
