doelfach
A doelfach is a term sometimes used in German-speaking regions to refer to a type of shallow shelving or compartment, often integrated into furniture or built into walls. It typically describes a space that is wider than it is deep, designed for displaying or storing smaller items. The word itself can be broken down into "Döel" (a dialectal word for a small, often somewhat rustic, box or drawer) and "Fach" (shelf or compartment). Therefore, a doelfach can be understood as a small shelf or a series of open compartments.
These doelfachen are commonly found in cupboards, sideboards, or as part of a larger shelving unit. They
