A vehicle body with a cavity therein. The cavity is optionally closed or opened by a door arrangement with one or more door leaves. The door leaves are connected to a wall of the cavity via multiple-joint hinges. A pivot axis of the door leaves is situated outside the cavity, and the multiple-joint hinges are arranged completely in the cavity without taking up installation space outside the inner volume of the cavity when the door arrangement is in the closed state. This design requires little installation space and allows a great freedom of movement of the door leaves.
