1. A sink, comprising:
a basin including a base wall having a drain opening for media to run out of the basin, and lateral walls adjoining the base wall, said basin including a receiving area delimited by the base wall and the lateral walls;
an insert plate separate from the basin and inserted into the receiving area;
a lifting apparatus configured to move the insert plate relative to the basin; and
a closure apparatus arranged on the insert plate and configured to prevent media in the basin from running to the drain opening, and
a separate strainer arranged in the drain opening and configured for adjustment in a height direction between an open position and a closed position, said closure apparatus including an actuation element which, when setting a lowered position of the insert plate in the basin, contacts the strainer in the open position, and which pushes the strainer into the closed position when the insert plate reaches the lowered position.
