A restraining area forms between the two fitting elements, into which the door element is insertable, and the fitting elements are formed such that a holding element is disposed between the two fitting elements. The holding element is displaceable in relation to the fitting elements and is at least partially rotatable about the center of rotation or the axis. The holding element is in operative connection with a connecting element, which serves for supporting the door element on the center of rotation or the axis. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A corner fitting for a door element to be disposed on a center of rotation or an axis, including a first fitting element and a second fitting element, which, at least sectionwise, each include a locating portion for the abutment against the door element and are interconnectable while restraining the door element, wherein a restraining area forms between the first and second fitting elements, into which the door element is insertable, and the first and second fitting elements are formed such that a holding element is disposed between the first and second fitting elements, which is displaceable in relation to the first and second fitting elements and is at least partially rotatable about the center of rotation or the axis, wherein the holding element is in operative connection with a connecting element, which serves for supporting the door element on the center of rotation or the axis. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The corner fitting according to claim 1, wherein the holding element is infinitely variably movable along a longitudinal extension of the first and second fitting elements, along a first direction of movement. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The corner fitting according to claim 2, wherein the holding element is latchable along the longitudinal extension of the first and second fitting elements, wherein a variable movement of the holding element can be performed between two latching points or the first and second fitting elements include latching means. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The corner fitting according claim 1, wherein the first and second fitting elements include a free space as a guide, in which the holding element is movable. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The corner fitting according to claim 1, wherein the free space is formed to the holding element such that the holding element is movable orthogonally a the first direction of movement in a second direction of movement. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The corner fitting according to claim 1, wherein the free space is formed in such a manner with regard to the holding element that a rotation of the holding element in relation to the first and second fitting elements about the center of rotation or the axis is approximately −2 degrees to approximately +2 degrees. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The corner fitting according to claim 1, wherein the restraining area is formed such that a thickness of the door element of up to approximately 22 mm can be accommodated, wherein the first and second fitting elements, the holding element as well as the connecting element are adapted to each other such that a movement of the holding element up to approximately 15 mm in relation to the first and second fitting elements can be performed in the second direction of movement. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The corner fitting according to claim 1, wherein the free space or the first and second fitting elements are formed in such a manner with regard to the holding element that the holding element can be moved along a longitudinal extension of the fitting element up to 35 mm. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The corner fitting according to claim 1, wherein an attaching mechanism is incorporated at the holding element as well as at the connecting element, which mechanism is transferable between a released condition and a fixing condition, wherein, in the released condition, the holding element is displaceable at the first and second fitting elements, and in the fixing condition, the holding element is non-positively or positively connected to at least one of the first and second fitting elements. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The corner fitting according to claim 1, wherein the holding element s non-positively or positively connected to the fitting element via at least one attaching element, wherein an alignment of the connecting element on the center of rotation or the axis is realized by loosening the non-positive or positive connection between the holding element and the fitting element. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The corner fitting according to claim 1, wherein the free space includes a recess in at least one of the first and second fitting elements, wherein the recess extends along a longitudinal extension of the fitting element, and the holding element with a head part is supported to be movable in the recess, wherein the head part acts in a clamping manner in the recess in the fixing condition. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The corner fitting according to claim 1, wherein the holding element includes a connecting part, to which the connecting element is attached, wherein a head part and the connecting part form a monolithic or integral structural component. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The corner fitting according to claim 12, wherein the connecting part extends through a distance between the first and second fitting elements, the distance being larger than the material thickness of the connecting part. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The corner fitting according to claim 1, wherein the first and second fitting elements are embodied with a lower recess, in which the connecting element is displaceable. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The corner fitting according to claim 1, wherein a rotation of the holding element is realized about the center of rotation or the axis via at least two adjusting elements. ### Claim 16 A method for disposing a door element on a center of rotation or an axis via a corner fitting, the method including the following steps: providing a first fitting element and a second fitting element, each having at least sectionwise a locating portion for abutting against the door element, and being interconnected while restraining the door element, disposing a holding element in the restraining area of the door element between the first and second fitting elements, rotating, at least partially, the holding element about the center of rotation or the axis, displacing the holding element in relation to the first and second fitting elements, the holding element being in operative connection with a connecting element, and supporting the door element on the center of rotation or the axis.
