A hinge for the pivotable linking of a door leaf or lid to the carcass of a furniture piece having a door-related part attachable to the door leaf or lid and a supporting-wall-related part, which parts are pivotingly joined together in the manner of a four-joint hinge by two hinge links pivotingly attached to the door-related part on the one hand to the supporting-wall-related part on the other hand. The outer hinge link farther from the supporting wall is linked on the supporting wall side to a pivot piece pivotingly linked to the supporting wall-related part. The pivot piece is coupled operatively to the inner hinge link nearer the supporting wall such that the pivot axis of the outer hinge link on the supporting wall end has in the hinge-open position a minimum distance and the the hinge-closed position a maximum distance from the pivot axis of the inner hinge link at the supporting wall end thereof.
