<p>The invention relates to a hinge construction for fixing at least one closure body (40) to a closure frame (20) such that it can pivot about an axis of rotation. With this arrangement the closure frame (20) is provided with at least one recess (21) with at least one opening (22) in a first surface (27) of the closure frame (20) for accommodating at least one hinge element. The hinge element (10) can be joined in a pivotable manner to the at least one closure body (40) via a hinge body (30), the hinge element (10) having a first portion (11) that has a shape such that the first portion (11) can be accommodated by the recess (21) and a second portion (12) to which the closure body (40) can be fixed such that it can hinge. The hinge element (10) can be fixed such that the first portion (11) is self-securing in the recesses (21).</p>
