Pass-through
Pass-through is an opening in the wall through which things (mostly food) can be passed.
history
In monasteries, hatches were widely arranged in kitchens to allow food to be served without unnecessary routes into the adjacent room, e.g. B. dining room to transport. A hatch was also necessary for the distribution of the “monastery soup” or other dishes to the poor or needy, as non-monks were not allowed to enter the cloister or the monastery. In the hermit orders like the Carmelites , every cell had a door and hatch. In farmhouses there were just as often hatches between the kitchen and living room , which were mostly closed with wooden sliding shutters.
Modern
In modern construction, the hatch was a means of enabling space-saving floor plans. Examples are the Weißenhofsiedlung or Le Corbusier's apartment house in Berlin. In the single-family home , the design was often adopted with a hatch between the kitchen and living room or dining room. Recently, or in very small apartments, a kitchen-cum-living room or living room with a kitchenette has been used. In the prefabricated buildings of the GDR there were z. B. in type P2 a hatch between kitchen and living room .
