1. A connecting device for pivotally connecting a first and a second separation element with one another with at least one pair of hinges with a first hinge and a second hinge connected to one another; said first hinge comprising a first hinge lever provided on the first separation element and said second hinge comprising a second hinge lever; said first hinge lever connected on one side to a first mounting element that is firmly connectable to a first side of the first separation element and on the other side is pivotally connected to a common hinge element, which is held between the first and the second separation element; said second hinge lever connected on one side to a second mounting element that is firmly connectable to a first side of the second separation element and on the other side is pivotally connected to said common hinge element; said first hinge lever and second hinge lever being bent such that the common hinge element is held distant from a plane that is formed by the first sides of the first and second separation element, when the first and second separation element are longitudinally aligned, and that the common hinge element is held between the planes of the first sides of the first and second separation element, when the first and second separation element are aligned in parallel; wherein the common hinge element comprises an articulated shaft that forms a common pivot axis for the first and the second hinge lever; wherein the common hinge element comprises an intermediate bracket that is connected to the articulated shaft and that extends along and in parallel to front edges of the first and second separation element when the first and second separation element are longitudinally aligned; and wherein at least one clamp is attached to the intermediate bracket to hold the articulated shaft.
