Abstract
The invention relates to a hinge for a vehicle door, comprising a first hinge part that can be fixed to the door or the door frame, a second hinge part which is fixed to the other of the two components, i.e. the door frame or the door, and a hinge pin that defines a swiveling axis of the hinge and pivotally connects the first hinge part and the second hinge part to each other. The hinge pin is arranged nonrotably on the first hinge part or the second hinge part while being rotatably mounted in the other hinge part. The hinge further comprises an end stop which limits an opening movement of the first hinge part and the second hinge part. In order to create a hinge that allows the vehicle door to be opened securely, an adjusting mechanism which is assigned to the first hinge part or the second hinge part is provided for adjusting the end stop.
