## Abstract

A door rack for a domestic refrigeration appliance has a basic body which is configured for receiving items to be stored, a rear wall and a forwardly oriented upper bow directed away from the rear wall of the basic body. A plate which is separate from the basic body forms the bottom of the door rack and is latched on the basic body by way of a latching device. A reach-through region is formed between the upper bow and the plate in the end position of the plate in which it is arranged on the basic body. There is also described a domestic refrigeration appliance having a door rack.
