Abstract
A sink includes a basin including a base wall and lateral walls adjoining the base wall. The basin includes a receiving area which is delimited by the base wall and the lateral walls. An insert plate separate from the basin is inserted into the receiving area. A lifting device is configured to move the insert plate relative to the basin in a height direction and includes a lifting unit with a variable length. The lifting unit includes a lifting mechanism which is embodied as a feed chain or a spindle drive.
