Kitchen and Bathroom were usually next to each other. In the kitchen is a small door to a room with a small window. This room has about 2/3 of the floor height. Is was used as a kind of refrigerator (by opening the window). In the bathroom is only a channel above the Speisekammer with a small window, which is only to get the perfume out.
From my Dutch understanding of German Speisekammer is ‘food room’, so what’s that doing in a bathroom?
Or am I missing something?
