Even if I repeat myself: in 2016 there was a break in production. Geisler only offers from 2016 onwards. My kitchen was done earlier. It is from 2013.
But thanks for the Lignoshop tip.

So! It is done!
Since Küchen Geisler is quite unclear in their presentation and does not provide me as a consumer with important details such as measurements, I ordered a sample drawer from Ligno.
For just over €50, I ordered a 30 cm drawer plus rails, unfortunately not in silver-gray, that was sold out.
It arrived within 4 working days, and today I installed it.
My husband was kind enough to leave me a cordless tool with a drill bit. (It should be mentioned: when it comes to measuring, I prefer to do it myself and calmly – unfortunately, I later couldn’t find any hand tools, like a screwdriver ... since we have a caravan, everything is somehow stored elsewhere :D)
The result is impressive:

... the next drawer for my spices in a 60 cm unit is ordered :p

So... finally, after 10 days, the 60 cm drawer has arrived and was quickly installed by me. I took a bit of a risk: it said that you should take 3 cm less than the cabinet depth. Since my cabinet depth is 52 cm, I ended up with the 45 cm depth for the first drawer. Now, for the 60 cm width, I ordered the 50 cm length. I didn't see any measurable obstacle there, although I was a bit uneasy when I unpacked it. But everything fits. So I finally have a bit more clarity with the spices :D You can clearly see the length difference in the pictures; of course, I also installed the longer one further in front.

In addition, since we got a new refrigerator, I took the opportunity to buy a Metod kitchen cabinet at Ikea and equipped it with Maximera and VOXTORP doors (same design as our Nolte), extending our kitchen by 40 cm. Fortunately, our L-shaped kitchen on the left and right was not boxed in, so we can extend it ;) I am considering where to post my small comparison report Nolte/Metod here in the forum...

Creative solution!
The maximera drawers are, by the way, the Tandembox from Blum!

No. In Germany, not for a long time. They have been from Hettich for years and of lower quality. I mean, in Austria they are still from Blum.
