1. A refrigerator door hinge having a fastening element which can be attached to a furniture body, and which is connected via a plurality of pivot arms to a pivotable mounting element,
wherein the mounting element can be attached to a movable furniture part,
wherein the hinge has a damper which exerts a damping action to damp a closing movement of the movable furniture part,
wherein the damper has a hook element at one end,
wherein an immovable holding element is arranged on the fastening element,
wherein the holding element has a cut-out,
wherein during the closing movement of the hinge from an open state to a closed state, a portion of the hook element on the damper engages a corresponding portion of the cut-out on the holding element, activating the damping action, and
wherein during an opening movement of the hinge from the closed state to the open state, the portion of the hook element disengages from the corresponding portion of the cut-out on the holding element, whereby the damper is available for activation.
