A container for transporting and storing goods with a container base and at least two foldable sidewalls, wherein the sidewalls, which are foldable on top of one another, are linked to the container base through hinges. Hinge bolt receivers include recesses, so that the hinge bolts are movable in the hinge bolt receivers from a lower end position, in which the folded down sidewall contacts the container base far enough into an upper end position, so that a planar placement of two sidewalls on top of one another is facilitated.

1. A container for transporting and storing goods, said container comprising a container base and at least two sidewalls foldable on top of one another, wherein the sidewalls, which are foldable on top of one another, are linked to the container base through hinges, said hinges being pivotably supported in hinge bolt receivers through hinge bolts, wherein said hinge bolt receivers comprise recesses, which are configured so that the hinge bolts are movable in the hinge bolt receivers from a lower end position in which a folded down sidewall contacts the container base sufficiently far enough into an upper end position that a planar placement of two sidewalls on top of one another is enabled, wherein the recesses of the hinge bolt receivers comprise upper portions with first widths and lower portions with second widths, the first widths being smaller than the second widths and the hinge bolts are disposed in the lower portions of the recesses in case the folded sidewall is placed on the container base and that the hinge bolts are disposed in their upper end position in the upper portion of the recesses in case the folded sidewall lies upon another sidewall, and wherein the hinge bolts comprise lugs configured as a protrusion of the hinge bolts that are oriented in a vertically downward direction for a folded down sidewall and wherein the hinge bolts comprise horizontal extensions and vertical extensions for a folded down sidewall wherein the size of the vertical extension includes the length of the lugs, wherein the first widths are configured for receiving the hinge bolts for a folded down sidewall approximately with the dimension of the horizontal hinge bolt extensions, and the second widths for receiving the hinge bolts for a folded down and a folded up sidewall are configured approximately with the dimension of the vertical hinge bolt extensions and wherein the horizontal extensions of the hinge bolts are smaller than the vertical extensions in a folded down position of the sidewalls. 2. The container according to claim 1, wherein the recesses comprise lengths perpendicular to the container base, the lengths being greater than one thickness of the sidewall and which are between one and two times the thickness of the sidewall. 3. The container according to claim 1, wherein the hinge bolt receivers are formed from the recesses and further including an edge bar integrally configured with the container base and integrally molded laterally at the container base, wherein said edge bar comprises an outer wall and inner wall. 4. The container according to claim 3, wherein the edge bar for one pair of sidewalls disposed opposite to one another is configured taller than for the other pair of sidewalls disposed opposite to one another, so that the one pair of sidewalls disposed opposite to one another is linked at the container base at a position that is displaced in a vertically upward direction relative to the other pair of sidewalls. 5. The container according to claim 1, wherein gaps with approximately two to three tenths of the widths of the lower portions of the recesses remain in a folded up position of the sidewall between the hinge bolts with their lugs and the at least one inner wall and the outer wall of the edge bar. 6. The container according to claim 3, wherein inward oriented lugs are configured at the edge bar in the upper portion at the inside of the outer wall and recesses are configured at the elevation of the inward oriented lugs at the outer surface of the lateral wall, wherein the inward oriented lugs are inserted into recesses in a folded up position of the sidewall. 7. The container according to claim 3, wherein stops are configured at the inner wall of the edge bar, said sidewall comprising downward oriented protrusions at its lower end, wherein the stops contact the downward oriented protrusions in a folded up position of the sidewall. 8. The container according to claim 3, wherein the sidewall comprises outward oriented lugs at its lower end, wherein the outward oriented lugs contact the outer wall of the edge bar in a folded up position of the sidewall. 9. The container according to claim 1, wherein the sidewall is linked to the container base through at least two hinges. 10. The container according to claim 1, wherein the sidewall is linked to the container base through at least three or four hinges.
