a main body having an upper end region, a lower end region and two main sides and two opposite narrow sides which extend in a heightwise direction between the end regions, wherein at least one of the end regions is adapted for releasable fixing to a transverse bar; and
wherein provided at both main sides is a respective number of holding grooves which extend substantially perpendicularly to the heightwise direction and into which a respective end of a shelf for internal division can be inserted and held, wherein:
each holding groove is of a continuous configuration respectively from the one narrow side to the other and at each narrow side has an insertion opening so that a shelf can be respectively introduced into the respective holding groove and removed again therefrom from both sides through the corresponding insertion opening selectively in one of two opposite assembly directions; and
