A safety housing () for an X-ray apparatus, comprises a working chamber () which can accommodate X-ray apparatus protection elements (-), in particular lead-containing walls and/or lead glass panes, which are impermeable to X-rays and which surround the working chamber () and at least one door () for opening and closing an access () to the working chamber () of the safety housing (), wherein the door () has at least one door protection element (), in particular a lead glass pane, which is impermeable to X-ray radiation, wherein the at least one door protection element () can completely cover the access to the working chamber (), and wherein the door () can be pivoted about an axis S relative to a main frame () of the safety housing (). At least one door protection element (-) of the door () is formed on one sliding door (), the sliding door () being disposed on a casement () of the door () such that it can be displaced in a direction V, and the casement () of the door () can be pivoted about the axis S relative to the main frame (). The amount of space that is required in front of the access to the working chamber is thereby reduced.
