A modular cooling storage system is disclosed, which has one or more storage containers, wherein each have cold-insulating walls including at least one side wall, a bottom, and a cover wherein the cold-insulating walls each have two opposite lateral surfaces, which are connected to each other in a thickness direction by edge surfaces and each storage container has at least one closable access opening. The lateral surfaces and/or edge surfaces of at least one of the walls of each storage container have integrated coupling elements, wherein the coupling elements are designed in such a way that the coupling elements engage with the coupling elements of a directly adjacent wall of a further storage container, wherein storage containers engaged with each other along a section of the walls of the storage containers have a common wall in the section.
