    Abstract: A door arrangement for a motor vehicle has a pivotable door and at least one hinge via which the door is articulated on one of its narrow sides on bodywork. Movement of the door between its open and closed positions proceeds, under automatic control, about two axes of rotation running approximately parallel through the hinge. During opening of the door, in a first movement stage, the hinge-side end region of the door is guided in a pivoting/sliding manner out of the door opening and the lock-side end region of the door is guided in a pivoting/sliding manner by guide elements along the door opening into a release position. Thereafter, the axis of rotation moved together with the door is shifted out of the door opening, and the door can be pivoted exclusively about the shifted axis of rotation in a second movement stage.
