Container comprising: a bottom; a peripheral wall extending upwards from the bottom and forming a container opening located above the bottom; a lid which can be connected to the peripheral wall in such a way that the container opening is closed by means of the lid, and which has at least one lid-edge overlapping portion which overlaps with at least one overlapping portion of the peripheral wall edge when the container opening is closed by means of the lid; at least one latching element which is provided with a latching hook and which is received in a latching-element receptacle provided at the overlapping portion of the peripheral wall edge or the lid-edge overlapping portion, and which is movably connected to the latching-element receptacle via a latching-element linking (46, 62); and at least one latching-hook receptacle, which is formed in a mirror-inverted manner on the lid-edge overlapping portion or the overlapping portion of the peripheral wall edge, which overlaps with the latching element when the container opening is closed by means of the lid in such a way that the at least one latching hook engages with the at least one latching-hook receptacle and locks the connection between the lid and the peripheral wall, wherein the at least one latching element is connected in a form-fitting manner to the latching-element receptacle via the latching-element linking (46, 62), the at least one latching element has at least one increased cross-section between its latching hook and its latching-element linking (46, 62), and the latching-element receptacle of the at least one latching element decreases in size in the direction of the latching hook at least in one portion, the latching-element linking (46, 62) is implemented by means of two clips, wherein the clips each have a base which protrudes laterally from the latching element and which is followed by a tongue with laterally protruding bearing pins, bearing recesses are provided at lower ends of side walls of the latching-element receptacle, which interact in a form-fitting manner with the bearing pins, projections protrude from the side walls of the latching-element receptacle above the bearing recesses into the latching-element receptacle, and the bases of the clips are shaped in such a way that they are located directly below the projections so that, in the event of malfunctions in the connection between the bearing pins and the bearing recesses, the bases interact with the projections in a form-fitting manner. a bottom; a peripheral wall extending upwards from the bottom and forming a container opening located above the bottom; a lid which can be connected to the peripheral wall in such a way that the container opening is closed by means of the lid, and which has at least one lid-edge overlapping portion which overlaps with at least one overlapping portion of the peripheral wall edge when the container opening is closed by means of the lid; at least one latching element which is provided with a latching hook and which is received in a latching-element receptacle provided at the overlapping portion of the peripheral wall edge or the lid-edge overlapping portion, and which is movably connected to the latching-element receptacle via a latching-element linking (46, 62); and at least one latching-hook receptacle, which is formed in a mirror-inverted manner on the lid-edge overlapping portion or the overlapping portion of the peripheral wall edge, which overlaps with the latching element when the container opening is closed by means of the lid in such a way that the at least one latching hook engages with the at least one latching-hook receptacle and locks the connection between the lid and the peripheral wall, wherein the at least one latching element is connected in a form-fitting manner to the latching-element receptacle via the latching-element linking (46, 62), the at least one latching element has at least one increased cross-section between its latching hook and its latching-element linking (46, 62), and the latching-element receptacle of the at least one latching element decreases in size in the direction of the latching hook at least in one portion, the latching-element linking (46, 62) is implemented by means of two clips, wherein the clips each have a base which protrudes laterally from the latching element and which is followed by a tongue with laterally protruding bearing pins, bearing recesses are provided at lower ends of side walls of the latching-element receptacle, which interact in a form-fitting manner with the bearing pins, projections protrude from the side walls of the latching-element receptacle above the bearing recesses into the latching-element receptacle, and the bases of the clips are shaped in such a way that they are located directly below the projections so that, in the event of malfunctions in the connection between the bearing pins and the bearing recesses, the bases interact with the projections in a form-fitting manner.
