The opening apparatus has an opening element and a drive unit. The opening element or the drive unit is connected to a guide and the drive unit or the opening element is connected to a rotational or sliding body, the latter being put into a rotational motion relative to the guide when the drive unit is operated, wherein the guide is designed such that the relative motion between the rotational or sliding body and guide results in an extension or retraction movement of the opening element.
