One aspect of the invention relates to a door (4, 100) for a domestic appliance (1), having a door leaf (6, 101) and having a
handle (12, 102) which can be moved relative to the door leaf (6, 101) and is arranged on the door leaf (6, 101), wherein the
handle (12, 102) has a
handle rod (13, 103) and handle blocks (14, 15, 104, 105) which protrude therefrom in the direction of the door leaf (6, 101), wherein the handle (12, 102) has a bar-like bearing part (17) which is concomitantly moved during movement and on which the handle blocks (14, 15, 104, 105) are arranged, wherein the door leaf (6, 101) has a panel
assembly (7) with a plurality of plate-like door panels (8, 9), which are arranged so as to be spaced apart from one another in the
depth direction (z) of the door (4, 100), characterized in that an
intermediate space (20), which is upwardly open in the basic position of the door (4, 100), is formed by the spaced arrangement of the door panels (8, 9), wherein the bearing part (17) has a covering part (19), by means of which the
intermediate space (20) is covered from above and freed to the rear in a basic position of the handle (12), and the
intermediate space (20) is covered to the rear in a pivoting position of the handle (12).
