Storage compartment with magnetic dividing elements

A storage compartment for a motor vehicle comprising:

• a fixed structural part having a base and a sidewall surrounding the base defining an interior space;
• and
• a dividing element configured to be magnetically fastenable to the structural part for partitioning the interior space in such manner that a surface section of the dividing element forms a first part of a partition in the interior space, and a surface section of structural part forms a second part of the partition, wherein the dividing element is bendable in such manner that it can be fastened to structural part in at least two different configuration to form at least two different sections together with the structural part.

The storage compartment 19, wherein the structural part comprises at least one extended magnetic element as the magnetic element, which enables a continuously-variable fastening position on the structural part over an area of the extended magnetic element.
